Scientists have reported the first known case of a person testing positive for monkeypox, Covid-19 and HIV at the same time.

Earlier this year, a 36-year-old Italian male began to develop a series of symptoms — including fatigue, fever, and a sore throat — nine days after returning from a trip to Spain.

The man, who has not been identified, spent five days in Spain from 16 to 20 June 2022 during which he admitted to having unprotected sex with men.

On July 2, the man tested positive for Covid, according to a case study report published in the Journal of Infection.

On the afternoon of the same day, a rash started to develop on his left arm. The following day, small, painful vesicles surrounded by a rash appeared on the man's torso, lower limbs, face and glutes.

By July 5, the vesicles had further spread and evolved into pustules - small bumps on the skin - at which point the man went to the emergency department at the San Marco University Hospital in Catania, Italy and was subsequently transferred to the Infectious Diseases unit.

There, he was tested for monkeypox and subsequently returned a positive result.

I'm not Jewish but which one of these would apply to this guy?   Is he a schlemiel, a schlimazel or a schmendrik?   I mean just good grief!

Not the first trifecta - WARNING: DO NOT CLICK IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH -the German guy whose nose is rotting off was diagnosed with monkeypox, syphilis, and full-blown AIDS. Could be a little health problem there...

His tests were probably made by the same company that made my 1970s era all-in-one stereo system: radio, turntable, and cassette player in one box, and they all sounded like crap.

Obviously picked all three up from a toilet seat.

The problem is these men that ‘find out’ they have HIV because they got infected with monkeypox or covid, and are then tested. They are carriers of a deadly disease and they don’t know?

How many men did he have sex with? Has he tried calling them to warn them that he may have infected them with HIV, basically killed them with a horrible disease?

Have we become so lax about HIV that no one tests for it any more? That it is no biggie if another person is infected?

He’s a human petri dish for the local gay community. He tests all new STDs for them.

Does he get a butt plug as a prize?
