GENEVA (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization on Wednesday advised men at risk of catching monkeypox to consider reducing their sexual partners “for the moment” following the U.N. health agency declaring the escalating outbreaks in multiple countries to be a global emergency.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said 98% of the monkeypox cases detected since the outbreaks emerged in May have been among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. He called for those at risk to take steps to protect themselves.

“That means making safe choices for yourself and others, for men who have sex with men,” Tedros said. “This includes, for the moment, reducing your number of sexual partners.”

Infectious individuals should isolate and avoid gatherings involving close, physical contact, while people should get contact details for any new sexual partners in case they need to follow up later, the WHO chief said.

WHO officials emphasized that monkeypox can infect anyone in close contact with a patient or their contaminated clothing or bedsheets. The U.N. health agency has warned that the disease could be more severe in vulnerable populations like children or pregnant women.

Have they shut down gay sex bars? They shut down churches during the Covid scare.

Spot on. First thing they should have done.

I doubt the rabid gay sex addicted perverts will cut back. There must be something positively intoxicating about blisters all over you weenie and hinee.

I think ‘considering’ it is all they’ll do. That won’t help much! After all they are perverts.

Lock them down, force them to wear masks and put them in gay nursing homes.

Yeah go from 10 to 5! That’s the ticket:-)

Just pregnant women and not pregnant men? How much bigoted and 2020 thinking infects the UN?

[Billthedrill]

Whoa, medical science! Who would have guessed that would help?

[teeman8r]

the WHO has said that having sex with someone without monkey pox is the best way not to get monkey pox.

[DoughtyOne]

Now that’s bold! /s

How about closing down known infestation centers?

Nah, that’s just too insulting to certain groups.

I know that one in white from somewhere.

Sure just like they did when AIDS first popped up.

Churches? Meh.

Gay bars ARE the churches of the liberal world order we are fighting to save in UKraine.

Well they have already made one unsafe choice right there.
