For confirmed cases in the UK, where gender information was available, 99.4% of infections were males, with 10 confirmed female cases, while the average age of those infected was 36.In this global outbreak, it is spreading primarily among men who have sex with men.
Many sexual health clinics have now been forced to close their doors to walk-ins and are triaging all patients over the phone.Monkeypox patient afraid to speak out over stigmaDr McSorely added:"It is simply not acceptable to watch monkeypox become endemic in the GBMSM community ."There is rarely the political will and public empathy to prioritise STIs and it is an injustice - dare I say, discriminatory - to watch this unroll in such a passive fashion.
It says:"The current vaccination rollout is too slow; vaccine access is hampered by lack of co-ordination between the agencies responsible for different parts of the system. "We have rapidly mobilised a large scale national response with sexual health services, to investigate and control Monkeypox and to support those affected. Sufficient vaccine supplies are available, enabling the NHS to roll out the programme to high risk groups."
