Health Authorities Issue New Advice for Avoiding Monkeypox
Wall Street Journal ^ | August 5, 2022 | Liz Essley Whyte and Stephanie Armour

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data finding the monkeypox outbreak is concentrated among men who have had sex with several men, and issued more detailed recommendations on how to avoid exposure to the disease.

Among 291 men surveyed, 40% reported that they had two to four partners and 14% reported five to nine partners in the three weeks before developing monkeypox, according to the report. About 19% reported 10 or more partners during that period, the CDC said Friday.

And among 86 men who reported information, 28% said they had had group sex, which is defined as sex with more than two people, at a festival, group sex event or sex party, based on the report. The research was conducted from May 17 through July 22.

After releasing the data, the CDC also issued more specific warnings and recommendations for reducing the risk of monkeypox than its earlier guidelines. The CDC also extended its recommendations to anyone sexually active, not just those who suspect they are infected.

In addition to advising people to limit their number of sex partners, the CDC recommended wearing latex, polyurethane or nitrile gloves, and changing or cleaning clothes, bedding, towels and sex toys after sex.

The new developments come after cases increased to more than known 7,000 in the U.S., prompting the federal government to declare a public-health emergency.

Monkeypox is a viral disease that can spread to anyone through close, personal contact that is often skin-to-skin as well as contact with respiratory secretions, direct contact with rash or scabs, and touching objects used by someone with the virus, the CDC said.

Direct contact can happen during sex or touching of genitals, as well as kissing, hugging, massage, and touching fabrics and objects used during sex such as fetish gear

But they are just like us. /s "Gay marriage" is as relevant to most gays as reading Aristotle.

Prevention = Don’t stick your pee-pee in a poop hole.

Or as the Africans taught about AIDS:

A bstain. But if you can’t,
B e faithful. But if you can’t, wear a
C ondom. Because otherwise you will
D ie (or with Monkeypox be disfigured and readily identifiable)

Don’t have sex with men, unprotected. Simple enough a non-homosexual can understand it.

LEFTIST: How dare you ridicule the administration for declaring “Monkeypox” a Health Emergency!

ME: Well, how should I respond to a “health emergency” for which the simple most effective means of stopping the spread is to stop having unprotected sex or intimate contact with people having unprotected sex with multiple partners? Besides, can you explain how during the COVID outbreak, churches and businesses were closed under penalty of law, but during a “health emergency” involving homosexual men with known disease vectors being homosexual events such as “Pride Gatherings” and such were not banned by the government?

This can't be true. I've seen a lot of homosexuals on TV and movies and they are all well dressed regular suburban guys in committed monogamous relationships who just want to be allowed to express their love through legal marriage.
