Miracle Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 I don't think I can go through another pandemic. I might take really hard decisions if a pandemic of the level of COVID happens again. Being mentally ill and going through these things makes it almost unbearable to live. These last three days I've been in a paralyzing panic non stop and very extreme emotional pain. I'm taking like double the anxyolitics I've got prescribed a day to just be able to go on. I think COVID has caused myself emotional trauma and turned me into a big time catastrophobic and I have no idea about what to do about it.

Wait but you are the one keeping this thread level headed Stay strong! I don't think this is going to become a new pandemic...I am pretty sure it is going to be short lived Just make sure to not have sex right now or other very close contact activities with others
katara Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 The timing of this and it being linked to gays couldn't be worse with abortion being banned recently and the republicans gearing up to ban gay sex and marriage
Marla Singer Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 This entire decade is just going to be a relentless shitshow.

Im being cautious but I’m still gonna meet a guy I really like from Bumble next week, I shouldn’t have to put my life on hold again (after 2 years of Covid) because a few cases. 1 hour ago, Miracle said: I don't think I can go through another pandemic.

I agree with you. It was specifically directed to him because of his high anxiety.
Dialamba Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Didn’t they said the same thing with AIDS when it started by gay sex seriously I’m scared, I don’t want this in my face it’s so ugly

iconicyayo Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 apparently many cases are being linked to maspaloma pride i am going to london next week to visit friends and for an appointment. one of my close friends was at that pride and i was gonna stay at his place for a night, now i am reconsidering. tbh this is way scarier than covid
Terrielle Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 People in my country are rejoicing that it's a 'gay disease'. As if we needed more homophobia in the world. Sigh.

But if this spreads mostly through intimate contact this should require self isolation. Don the be scared. OT: its it that hard to have sex with only people you know and trust?

If it’s that easy to get then I think we would be seeing more cases in straight people, the strain currently spreading is behaving differently.

CaptainMusic Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, BadMonster said: Of course not. Why would straight people be touching these blisters in gay people's private areas? That only happens if you sleep with someone and a condom won't protect you from that. Also, that festival in Belgium where some people seem to have gotten it hasn't been that long ago, so the first patients are only finding out now, most probably haven't infected anyone else yet or the ones they've infected aren't presenting yet I thought you meant touching blisters in general not just on private areas Still, if it transmits like that then all it takes is a few Bi men to transmit it to women and so on. We will see as it progresses and we have more data.
illia Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending

We will see as it progresses and we have more data. I know people who work in LGBT public health (gay men's health clinics and that sort of thing) and they've told me "down low" men are a lot of the cases of STDs they're seeing recently because they're not part of the mainstream gay community and closeted so they're not educated about HIV and STDs and the like, and they don't get tested regularly either, they only seek treatment once it's really obvious something is wrong. Be very careful when hooking up with those faceless "discreet and curious" profiles on Grindr.
Protocol Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 55 minutes ago, BadMonster said: Second case in the Netherlands confirmed. Anyone who's suspected of having it has to go into isolation until test result is back. If the result is positive, they have to isolate until the skin is fully healed. High risk contacts will be offered a vaccine, they'll have to quarantine, and they will be monitored to see if they develop symptoms, according to the news I think they need to start a campaign of vaccination in gay men ASAP Grindr and Scruff etc should also have automatic pop up messages about this warning people to be on the lookout for the symptoms when you log in, which they don't so far They are dropping the ball IMO, they need to act quickly before pride season starts
