I haven't been keeping up with much of the Monkeypox situation, but this came up on my timeline....

this **** feels like it's going to cause another worldwide pandemic thanks to idiots like this :deadbanana4:

 

 

Original thread

 

 

This is a lie

 

 

 

And another Spanish thread, made by a supposed man who'd been infected after buying a scooter from someone else, has also been shown to be a lie.

I went to Dore Alley for like an hour but didn't see anyone having sex.

Twitter shows otherwise.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned meth as a catalyst to this disease among gay men, especially regarding these sex parties and sex dungeons.  The meth epidemic is like pouring gasoline on this disease.  When you're on meth, you don't care about monkeypox, and you don't care who has it or even if you have it.

 

I'm surprised this hasn't even been mentioned ONCE in here.

Quit making excuses.

Omg. Two weeks ago my boyfriend went to Chicago. I’ve kept my distance from him a bit without just straight up asking about his escapades…but now he’s coming down with a fever and flu like symptoms. Around the time one would expect it from monkey pox. Hopefully it’s just a flu or ******* COVID (which he JUST got over from Toronto pride) 

 

And this ***** hasn’t gotten the vaccine either. I’m probably just being a paranoid hypochondriac but still. If he does end up having it I’m gonna have to quarantine as well ?

Not a 500% weekly increase :rip:

Is he on PrEP?

Nope! That was why he didn’t sign up during the first batch of vaccines even tho I told him to lie and say he was at a bathhouse! Hopefully he just has a fever or cold or something and he gets better I don’t want him to be in pain or be one of the people who has to be hospitalized ?

Not "cover up the bumps and have sex anyway" :deadbanana2: Are they stupid or actively trying to hurt people??

 

EDIT: they cut off the website text before it said "if you think it might be monkeypox stay home". Which is a pretty disingenuous thing to do and tells you about that tweet's motivation. But tbh they should be shutting down dark rooms period.

 

Also this party I went to last night had a monkeypox vaccination site inside the actual party which was awesome, great job, I saw a lot of guys throughout the night get the vaccine. But the problem is that right across from it........was the entrance to the dark room sex dungeon of the party where people were having anonymous sex in the dark :deadbanana4: So it's like..... which is it? Do you want to stop monkeypox or not? :deadbanana4: Why would you both offer the way to prevent it and then also offer the #1 way it's been spreading at the same event? :deadbanana4:

 

Also at none of the four different pride events I attended did anyone on stage make any reference to monkeypox, how to get vaccinated, how to prevent it, nada, as if it wasn't happening. Is this how the early days of AIDS felt? Some people screaming that something really bad is going on while others pretend nothing is happening?

We had everything shut down thanks to covid. These gay kink events should be no different. People were literally arrested during covid for congregating. And about the web site, the fact that they are telling people to just cover up bumps, I mean, really? So what they include if you think you have something stay home? This is beyond a disaster and people are now dying from it. These same people on the Left (politicians) who were screaming and shaming anyone for not wearing a mask (and making Instagram accounts exposing people) are screaming that telling people to lay off the anonymous sex and sex events are **** shaming. It's the height of hypocrisy. They don't care about health, they just want to play the morality police when it suits them. And BTW, that lunatic Scott Wiener pushed legislation lessening the charge for people who knowingly give someone HIV. San Francisco is full of these lunatics and the population is paying the price.

He should get tested for HIV. He could be seroconverting based on the symptoms you described. And you should avoid sex with him until he gets tested for both monkeypox and HIV.

 I take it you're in an open relationship?

Correct. I didn’t want to be alarmist after he came back but now the timing of his little flu is suspect. Have to be on high alert the next couple days cuz from what I read the blisters pop up within a few days of a fever.  Again, hope it’s nothing but a quick flu or even COVID again ?

The grotesque framing of the surge of monkeypox in comparison to the AIDS epidemic. One was systematically ignored, while this one is actually being taken serious in certain states by at minimum declaring an emergency. Testing, and vaccines being able. There are not the ******* same. This is about public health. About a community they feign to care about. It does not make any sense. Logical or moral.

Meanwhile…

 

San Francisco is right now hosting the Up Your Alley kink festival with guys having sex with each other in public, even urinating on one another in the street. The videos on Twitter are a nightmare. 
 

 

This is so embarrassing for the entire community :ace:

If you only got one dose how much does that actually help you? Anyone know?

But the one dose they are giving people after they already contract it, right? So it does something? :dancehall3:

We don’t know precise numbers but one dose does help a lot. The second vaccine dose is generally to extend the effect over a longer time period.

with monkeypox going UP everywhere, I knew I had to return to ATRL :jonny5: the Covid thread helped me for years. I know y’all will be helpful with this too.

Not sure what posts you were referring to and I don't want to assume anything, but I was personally referring anecdotally to several gay networking events be they pride related or not in cities nationally, where I've heard and read personally and not just on the news or social media about a breakdown in communication and clarity with local health departments on spread, personal responsibility, vaccine availability, and messaging overall. In that sense I have noticed similarities. There are a lot of key differences with vaccine and test availability and some state action, absolutely. I never claimed otherwise.

Can I get this by going to the gym? I'm getting super scared already.
