A member asked:
Is monkeypox because of gay man?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. Monkey pox is a viral infection. It is spread through close contact with an infected person. Gay people are having more infections due to close contact with an infected person. Being gay per se does not cause monkey pox. If you are at risk of this infection, check with your local health department of vaccine. Wish you good health!
