The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday alerted gay and bisexual men that monkeypox appears to be spreading in the community globally, cautioning people to take precautions if they have been in close contact with someone who may have the virus and to be on the lookout for symptoms.
Dr. John Brooks, a CDC official, emphasized that anyone can contract monkeypox through close personal contact regardless of sexual orientation. However, Brooks said many of the people affected globally so far are men who identify as gay or bisexual. Though they may have greater chance of exposure to monkeypox right now, that doesn’t mean the risk is limited only to the gay and bisexual community, he said.
We want to help people make the best informed decisions to protect their health and the health of their community from monkeypox,” Brooks said.
Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease, which are generally passed through semen or vaginal fluid, but it can be transmitted through sexual and intimate contact as well as through shared bedding. The virus spreads through contact with body fluids and sores, Brooks said.
It’s important for physicians and individuals to be aware of the symptoms associated with monkeypox, particularly anal or genital lesions that can be confused with herpes, syphilis or chickenpox, he said.
“Anyone with a rash or lesion around or involving their genitals, their anus or any other place that they have not seen it before, should be fully evaluated, both for that rash but particularly for sexually transmitted infection and other illnesses that can cause rash,” Brooks said.

filthy disease ridden queers... monkeyaids
Good grief...without "activity" you cannot get monkeypox.
What about the celebate gays? Are THEY at risk?
This is a classic example of where politically correct speech kills people. And, as usual, the guilty party is on the left.
The irony of leftist speech codes killing gays. That presumes, of course, that the left even cares about gays beyond political power.
Just in time for “pride” month.
Considering that neither my wife Nor myself engage in Deviant sexual behavior, especially with other men or women, I don’t Really think we will need to worry about it. However, I’m fairly sure government is going to try to make us all be scared that EVERYONE WILL GET THE FAGGOTPOX IF WE DON’T DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY TELL US TO!
Let’s Go Brandon.

Just an idle thought...has the Wuhan Lab been studying gain of function of the Monkeypox Virus recently?

“Come on ev’rybody, we’ve got quilting to do!”
Could be. There’s one? confirmed case in the US and a few suspected cases. In UK and Europe it’s spreading among gay men. With pride month in June they know gay men will be mingling and that’s why the alert.
I think it’s transmitted by contact with the skin lesions or exudate from those lesions.
Sick bass turds.
Alright, which one of you fags humped a monkey?

God warned us about this.
