Mateo Prochazka, an epidemiologist from the UK Health Security Agency , said: "The infections are not about sexuality. We are concerned about monkeypox in general, as a public threat. We are worried about everyone's health."As monkeypox is often caught through direct contact, once it's introduced to a community, it is more likely to spread through that community among those who are in close contact with each other - for example, within a household or among sexual partners.
Scientists are investigating whether the infection was introduced via a combination of single transmissions or, whether so-called "super-spreader" events, such as a festival, may have resulted in more people catching it at one time. HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust is raising awareness alongside the UKHSA and NHS leaders to learn more about monkeypox and how it's affecting people.
He acknowledges the "delicate balance between achieving freedom of choice and freedom of infection" and says it's important people are well-equipped to make their own decisions. If you don't have any symptoms and you're due to attend a regular sexual-health check-up, you're urged to go ahead as planned.If you have a new and unusual sore or rash it's advised that you contact your local sexual-health clinic, but don't turn up for an in-person appointment unannounced.
The LGBT virus haha
It’s only a matter of time before Ebola reaches the UK 🇬🇧
I think health promotion and data based fact varies according to the realistic proportion among age diagnosed cases within
He who have ear 👂 let him hear full 🛑
Gays are a genetic Disorder
Oh shut up
This is a sorry road to go down , remember aids? Ostracised group of people by families and the public ...not good.
Presumably because that is the social networks it has got imbedded in. I really don’t understand this indignation about facts being whateverphobic. Cluster outbreaks of any contagious disease are alerted to those who most need to be vigilant. This is no different.
The most sexually irresponsible group. Go figure.
That's only because gay and bisexual men are more likely to get tested regularly unlike heterosexual men.
Here we go !!! …… are we going to see another round of homophobia as we did in the 80s over HIV/AIDS
These headlines are promoting stigma, not dispelling them
More scaremongering by the bbc.
