New research points to sex between men as the primary mode of transmission fueling the global monkeypox outbreak.
It turns out that claims that skin contact is probably much less of a risk factor.
Correct identification of the mode of transmission is critical in determining the proper set of precautions to promote to stop the spread of the disease.
A growing body of evidence supports that sexual transmission, particularly through seminal fluids, is occurring with the current MPX outbreak,” said Dr. Aniruddha Hazra, medical director of the University of Chicago Sexual Wellness Clinic, referring to monkeypox and to recent studies that found the virus in semen.
Consequently, scientists told NBC News that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health authorities should update their monkeypox communication strategies to more strongly emphasize the centrality of intercourse among gay and bisexual men, who comprise nearly all U.S. cases, to the virus’ spread.
On Aug. 14, Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, an infectious disease physician at the University of Southern California, and Dr. Lao-Tzu Allan-Blitz, a resident physician in global health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, published an essay on Medium in which they reviewed the science supporting the argument that during the current outbreak, monkeypox is largely transmitting through anal and oral intercourse between men.
“It looks very clear to us that this is an infection that is transmitting sexually the vast majority of the time,” Allan-Blitz said.
Go read it all. This is a problem for the left because this flies in the face of their whole equality/equity obsession. If behavior, typically by a certain group is the clear cause of most cases of monkeypox, well, then what is the left to do? What indeed.
