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.

Midge, the girl second from the left is hot! Frankendwarf next to her, too! “Me love you short time.”
Back in the day, they gave the same advice to reduce the spread of the clap. I wonder how many Freepers are old enough to remember those talks from high school? Or the military?
“Reducing” the number while getting contact info from normally anonymous partners is not exactly doing a lot to “slow the spread”—if indeed this is how these symptoms are spreading.
guess GAYDS wasn’t a learning experience that it should have been...
File this one under “duh”.
Fauci is recommending using the Covid masks for preventing monkeypox, by connecting one end of the mask to a belt buckle in the front, and to a belt loop in the back, similar to a thong. This way, the pox won’t be able to penetrate and infect.
They will be excoriated for daring to suggest that gay men should abstain even temporarily.
Well that advice should go over about as well as a salted fart in a peanut shell.
Homos live to cornhole.
The left will no doubt scream about the WHO being ‘homophobic” and ‘Discriminatory’
This opens up a whole lot of innuendo’s.
Camps. Let’s scare them a little.
they’re too busy working of the next pandemic for their community.
Me too. So apparently we had the same dream. Or was it a dream?
Something is amusing about the Ass Press carrying an article about buggery.
Too much innuendo seems to be the underlying problem ...
Well DUH!!!!!
Incredible insight...
That's the least of their problems. The "gay" hook-up apps make the whole world a highway rest stop men's room.
Those should be shut down.
For normal society facing COVID: Mandatory business-killing lockdowns, closed churches and arrests of all violators.
