Sex between men, not skin contact, is fueling monkeypox, new research suggests

with which cases have remained so overwhelmingly in this demographic, some experts argue, is further evidence that the virus transmits among them through a behavior that is exclusive to the group — anal intercourse and oral sex between men.

, it does so with dramatically lower efficiency — and thus at a rate similar to the relatively slow spread seen in Africa.estimated that just 0.8% of the cases they analyzed were due to nonsexual close contact and 0.6% were due to household contact. By contrast, 95% of these cases were likely acquired during sex between men. The authors of the Lancet paper estimated that 3% of the cases they analyzed transmitted through nonsexual household contact.

“STIs such as syphilis or chancroid are commonly found in children in the tropics, where abrasions on the arms and legs are common,” Mitjà said. If monkeypox is indeed overwhelmingly being transmitted through intercourse and rarely through more casual means, this challenges burdensome public healthrecommending that people with the virus isolate for the course of their illness, which can last for weeks, Mitjà and his coauthors argued in their paper.

benryanwriter 'Study SUGGESTS monkeypox MIGHT be MORE EFFICIENTLY transmitted' There's a whole lotta 'mmmmaybe's in that sentence 🤔

LMAOROTF.... NBC is always wrong. First make a rave incident sound like a pandemic when it is far more like sexual irresponsibility.

The virus may be running rampant among the gay, but let’s not forget some men who have sex with other men also have it with women. That’s how 🐒pox will leap to other communities as VIH did, and that blindingly obvious contingency is now being glossed over by science & the media.

So packing poo is worse than snuggling. It makes no sense. monkeypox

Walking on eggshells as to not offend those who are spreading Monkeypox.

🖕🖕🖕

It’s incredible the public health bureaucrats & politicians demanded the ENTIRE populace to comply with their edicts for CV19 but for some reason they can’t muster up a simple message to gay folks to maybe pause on having unprotected sex with multiple partners

acute ass, dick, and oral lesions. How are those three things interrelated?

I'm sorry what? Is that how monkey pox was spreading back in West Africa? Maybe it's a new STD variant. WTF?
