"You do not come out unscathed from a disease that has hurt you so much... as well as the additional burden of discrimination," said Corentin Hennebert, one of the first cases in France., overwhelmingly among men who have sex with men, provoking fears of a repeat of the stigma faced by gay men seen during the AIDS epidemic.

Then there is the impact of being suddenly hit by"a disease people had never heard of" after two years of the Covid pandemic, with the three-week monkeypox isolation period reviving bad memories of lockdowns.
