They’re starting to admit that monkeypox is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), something that pretty much everyone, except the experts, already worked out.

Puts a totally different spin on this story, doncha think?

It amazes me that the pharma companies made a big push for prep to be available on the NHS, and then there are resurgences of gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes and now Monkeypox among the gay community. Almost as if telling people they can fuck multiple people without condoms has consequences.

The thing about PrEP that's foremost in my mind, and I really don't understand why nobody is talking about this, is that we can't even have contraceptives--that term encompassing condoms, birth control pills, and IUDs, with vasectomies as an extreme endpoint--with a 100% success rate, and that's a reasonably well-developed field.

But people are treating PrEP like it'll never fail to do what it's supposed to, and they just go barebacking without a care as a result. And all I can think about is what kind of awful horrorshow it'll be if the drug ever fails for some reason (like a resistant strain of HIV popping up).

Experts knew this the entire time. People who are in charge of messaging decided it was homophobic.

You can transfer the virus by touching and sex is a form of touching.

They found the virus is more prevalent in semen and saliva than on the surface of the skin in a study published in July, meaning that it was far more likely to have been passed about through fluid exchange than simple touching as claimed and had safe sex and a bit of restraint been practiced it would not have spread as much as it has.
