Monkeypox: WHO Issues Strong Warning To Homosexuals

The World Health Organisation has sounded a note of warning to homosexuals over the monkeypox epidemic.

The global health body admonished g@ys to refrain from having s*x with multiple men, noting that men who engage in such risk monkeypox infection.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issued the admonition on Wednesday.

According to WHO, some 98 percent of the reported cases involved men who have sexual contact with multiple other men. العاب قمار حقيقية

The WHO asked this group to, for the moment, reduce the number of sexual partners, reconsider s*x with new partners, and exchange contact details with any new partners to enable follow-up if needed. كيفية الربح في الكازينو

However, the organization stressed that anyone can be infected.

“In addition to the transmission through sexual contact, monkeypox can also be spread in households through close contact between people, such as hugging and kissing, and on contaminated towels or bedding,’’ Ghebreyesus said

He added that the outbreak could be stopped, “if countries, communities, and individuals inform themselves, take the risks seriously, and take the steps needed to stop transmission and protect vulnerable groups,’’

Ghebreyesus said that regarding vaccination against monkeypox, there are still open questions about the effectiveness or who exactly should be vaccinated.

The WHO does not recommend mass vaccination, but “targeted vaccination for those exposed to someone with monkeypox, and for those at high risk of exposure, including health workers, some lab workers, and those with multiple sexual partners.’’

More than 18,000 cases from 78 countries have been reported to the WHO, with more than 70 percent of infections recorded in European countries, many of which had previously known virtually no monkeypox cases.

On July 23, the WHO declared the monkeypox outbreak an “emergency of international concern.”
