They likely had AIDS and fifteen other butt-distributed diseases.
Like AIDS, Monkeypox is spread through homosexual activity as the main vector. Give honest information and maybe the spread can be mitigated by actually telling the at-risk population it is their own risky behavior that endangers them. Pretending, like AIDS, ‘everyone is equally at risk’ will always fail because we already know how the disease is spread and 98.99% of the population are not into that sort of thing. I’m not at risk of OD’ing on heroin for the same reason.
