re: 95% of known monkey pox cases transmitted by gay men

Not really. Certainly, some straight people got HIV (though, the VAST majority was from other high risk behavior [IV drug use]) but it was (and is) an overwhelmingly "gay" disease.

There was a pretty large portion of the population that contracted HIV by other means besides sex on IV drug use. I am not saying it was not mostly a disease of the gay population. My point was that it became much more than just a gay disease!

It is just like the sudden outbreak of Hep C in the bommer generation. It is a blood to blood transmission that is a huge problem with this generation. Not because they all used IV drugs, but due to the lack of awareness of sterilization of commonly used devices involving blood transmission, barber shops, nail saloons, etc. These processes really changed after the outbreak of HIV.

That might be the most embarrassing photo in US history.

The problem was it began to spread to the entire population.

Actually, the problem was it started spreading to the population in general because it was not called a gay disease when it started... Had they met HIV head on, there would have been very little cross over to the general population...

From the article:
“We have seen patients with severe rectal pain that worsens every time they go to the bathroom, genital pain every time they urinate and throat pain every time they swallow,” said Dr. Jason Zucker, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University Department of Medicine.
