U.S. health officials are concerned about the pace monkeypox is “developing worldwide” and said they will launch an awareness effort targeting gay and bisexual men and their health care providers ahead of Pride Month starting next week.
This comes as 200 Massachusetts health care workers are being monitored as contacts of the man who was the first confirmed U.S. monkeypox case.
There are four additional suspected monkeypox cases, officials said at a briefing on Monday afternoon. One case is in New York, one in Florida, and two in Utah. CDC officials would not “delve further into” where those cases had traveled abroad, citing patient confidentiality.
So far, almost all monkeypox cases linked to the new global outbreak share the characteristics of men who have sex with men who have recently traveled overseas.
Some cases in Europe have been linked to “group events” such as a gay pride festival in Gran Canaria, Spain, attended by 80,000 people, and a fetish event in Antwerp, Belgium, Daily Mail reported.
The CDC’s top medical epidemiologist in the division of HIV and AIDS prevention, Dr. John Brooks, said the agency would know more about “any potential links between the cases being diagnosed in this country and any of these other events” in Europe.

CDC Concerned About Pace of Monkeypox ‘Developing Worldwide’ Among Gay and Bisexual Men is the full title of the article.
Back in my Airline working days the person who was in charge of hiring flight attendants was gay; so he hired as many many gays as he could. Lay overs were a fun time for many of them until AIDS hit this particular segment of the flight attendants. It was horrible to watch them suffer and die not to mention those who were AC/Dc infecting women partners they had a one night relationship with. Now it would appear Monkey pox is infecting the same group of people.

I know a lot of straight people swiping let or right these days. It will spread among the promiscuous population. Sex with strangers requires close contact, which is how Monkey Pox is spread. A virus spread by close contact doesn't care if you are gay or straight.

Out of 190 cases in Europe 111 were gay men. 89 were straight. I am not saying gay men are not more promiscuous. I know for a fact, my straight friends are too though, including women. They also hook up, by swiping left or right. Yes more gay men have monkey pox, but like I said promiscuous people will spread it. Gay or straight.

"Sexual debut occurred earlier among MSM(gay - Men sex Men) than heterosexuals. MSM reported longer cumulative lifetime periods of new partner acquisition than heterosexuals, and a more gradual decline in new partnership formation with age. Among MSM, 86% of 18–24 year olds and 72% of 35–39 year olds formed a new partnership during the prior year, compared to 56% of heterosexual men and 34% of women at ages 18–24, and 21% and 10%, respectively, at ages 35–39. MSM were also more likely to choose partners >5 years older and were 2–3 times as likely as heterosexuals to report recent concurrent partnerships. "

Yet, out of 190 initial cases 89 were straight! WTAF, is this 1987 all over again? Monkey Pox is spread by CLOSE CONTACT. Yet you want to make it a "gay" plague! Homophobic much? Blaming gay people, when it is spread through "close contact"? Let's see where this goes in the future. You clearly have an agenda. Read my posts. I never said gay men were not promiscuous. I said I know lots of straight people are too!

8 billion people live in this world and we're worried about 190 people who can't keep it in their pants long enough to find out if the other guy is disease free?
