Mosaic for smallpox in monkeys: Do not stigmatize – It is not a sexually transmitted disease

by

The virus that causes it “monkey pox” is much less contagious than the coronavirus. But even more important is it at the moment not to stigmatize patients. We can not stigmatize either the love affair or the encounter between people of the same sex, because the “smallpox of monkeys” it is not a sexually transmitted disease. This is pointed out in a post on Facebook Elias Mosialos, Professor of Health Policy at the School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) and Imperial College London.

As he states, “Unfortunately, it was unfortunate to report from the public that the majority of smallpox patients were men who had sex with men. Unfortunate because children used to be sent by their mothers to catch chickenpox from neighbors. Unfortunate because it could happen “Between women who have sex with men or women. The younger ones may not know it, but the older ones certainly know how stigmatized gay men are with AIDS. It’s been almost four decades since then.”.

He points out that “with almost 100 cases of monkey pox, the concern for new possible limitations due to a disease transmitted from person to person has begun – reasonably for the most vulnerable. At the same time, due to the pressure for immediate answers. explanations for the route of transmission.

Who is she; Let’s just say it. The virus can be transmitted through the respiratory tract (these heavy droplets that are not carried away). Ή through the contact of a healthy person with the blisters or sores or abrasions of a symptomatic patient. Or even without direct skin contact. That is, a close relative or caregiver can be wiped with the same towel and become infected. A nurse or even a hospital cleaner can touch the patient’s sheets, not disinfect them and become infected. “A sexual partner can also touch his man and become infected.”
