People who have had mpox (also known as monkeypox) may experience persistent physical effects, such as skin discoloration and scarring, as well as ongoing psychological and social impact, according to a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
In an analysis of more than 150 people who had mpox during the large outbreak in 2022, nearly 60% reported lasting physical aftereffects, 49% reported ongoing issues related to their social life and 45% reported increased depression 11 to 18 months later.

"The penis was the most frequently affected part of the body (cited by 47%), followed by elsewhere in the groin or pelvic area (38%), trunk (35%), upper extremities (34%) and face or ears (30%)."
“Almost all the post-mpox participants were men (96%), but the no-mpox group included more women (15%); those in the former group were also more likely to report male-to-male sexual contact (80% versus 57%).”
In other words, the new “gay disease.”
Just don’t sodomize with other men and you’ll be fine.
The only other people who are going to see discolored and deformed rectums and genitals are other homos.
Stop having gay sex and these diseases won’t happen. Genitals were not made to go mucking around in areas as septic as a porta potty at a Texas chili cook off in August.

social impact? ...Can’t imagine why.
It's a close-knit "community." Word gets around.
"Hey, did you hear that Kevie had the pox? Got it on a Grindr date."
I know it is really getting bad ... I run away from them, you can tell them because they wear Covid face masks.
That’s why they are talking about it in that “Anals of Internal” whatever magazine
In other words, don’t be Peter-puffin.
Exactly!
Was M-Pox originated from eating infected monkeys or some other route of contact?
I knew those “Furries” would start something.
Thanks for the advice.
Personally, I don’t need it, but glad you are trying to keep yourself safe.
Good luck.
Stop sodomizing strange men in public restrooms.
I didn’t post to you. And, I’m a straight female, so this is not a problem for me. Hope you’re well insured, tho.
‘ I’m a straight female, so this is not a problem for me. Hope you’re well insured, tho.’
Good for you.
Your sexuality doesn’t prevent you from monkey pox. Your exposure does.
Now, you could very well not come into contact, most don’t. But to think that it’s a ‘gay’ thing only, is kinda dumb.
