Monkeypox disproportionately affecting homosexual men

 




A detailed analysis of monkeypox case records published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday offers new insight into the outbreak, which is disproportionately affecting men who have sex with men, especially those who are Black and Hispanic.

 There were 2,891 cases of monkeypox reported in the United States by July 22, about two months after the country's first case was reported. Case report forms with additional epidemiologic and clinical information were submitted to the CDC for 41% of those cases, though not all details were complete in all of those forms.  Source: CNN
