VD for Valentine’s Day?
In case you needed a reason to stay celibate this weekend, there’s a sexually transmitted fungus making the rounds and leaving its mark.
Experts say the public should be aware of the nation’s “largest known outbreak” of Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII.
Known as TMVII, the nasty business is the only known fungal-based sexually transmitted infection.
Cases of TMVII have been on the rise in Europe for the past several years, especially among men who have sex with men.
In 2024, an NYC man became the first reported US case of TMVII, and it seems the icky itch has now made its way to the Midwest.
Since the STI was detected in Minnesota in July 2025, the state has reported 13 confirmed and 27 suspected cases of TMVII.
“Patients concerned they might have a rash consistent with TMVII, particularly if they have had recent sexual contact with others with a rash, should visit an STI clinic for evaluation and treatment,” the Minnesota Department of Health said in a statement.

It’s always them when you hear of a “new” STD.

When will insurance companies and doctors ask a patient if they are homosexuals like they do with firearms ?
OoooP! There it is!
Maybe that’s why Tampon Tim has that worried look on his face.
Yet another reason to be afraid of gays now donating blood.
A pingie for your thingie...
... especially among men who have sex with men ...Just sayin'
😵
Long-term monogamy solves this problem. Perpetual monogamy absolutely solves it.
Ew.
Ringworm? Is that what they call the stretched part now?
Diseased homos, again?
Well, golly gee whillickers ....
Ain't that a big surprise?
Gentlemen: Only ever stick it in your wife.
Ladies: Only ever spread ‘em for your husband.
And why he runs around stages and flails his arms. He’s just itching to get some relief.
Fungus due to fun guy?
To borrow a well known meme:
Boo-boo, is it them again?
Killing themselves with love. Can’t control it, can’t see it. Some type of blindness.
Not planning on staying celibate but since we embrace chastity not worried about catching a VD.
Interesting that the author seems to think there are only two options, town bicycle or monk.
