The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued guidelines instructing the public on how to mitigate the risk of transmitting monkeypox while engaging sexually with a partner.
While touting the monkeypox vaccine, CDC recommends anyone with monkeypox abstain from sex.
“Vaccination is an important tool in preventing the spread of monkeypox. But given the current limited supply of vaccine, consider temporarily changing some behaviors that may increase your risk of being exposed. These temporary changes will help slow the spread of monkeypox until vaccine supply is adequate,” the federal agency states in its Aug. 5 guidance.”If you or a partner has monkeypox, the best way to protect yourself and others is to avoid sex of any kind (oral, anal, vaginal) and do not kiss or touch each other’s bodies while you are sick, especially any rash. Do not share things like towels, fetish gear, sex toys, and toothbrushes.”
The CDC goes on to outline various ways to prevent transmission of the virus during sex.
“Masturbate together at a distance of at least 6 feet, without touching each other and without touching any rash,” the CDC continues. “Consider having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash is present, reducing as much skin-to-skin contact as possible. If the rash is confined to the genitals or anus, condoms may help; however, condoms alone are likely not enough to prevent monkeypox.”
Approximately 6,617 people in the United States, primarily gay and bisexual men, have been diagnosed with monkeypox to date, according to the CDC.

Health and Human Service Secretary Xavier Becerra declared the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency on Thursday.
“We’re prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus, and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously and to take responsibility to help us tackle this virus,” Becerra said at a Thursday news briefing.
Joe Biden vowed to “ramp up vaccine distribution” following Becerra’s declaration.
I remain committed to our monkeypox response: ramping-up vaccine distribution, expanding testing, and educating at-risk communities.
That’s why today’s public health emergency declaration on the virus is critical to confronting this outbreak with the urgency it warrants.

According to CDC, there are only two vaccines licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) available for “preventing monkeypox infection” – JYNNEOS (also known as Imvamune or Imvanex) and ACAM2000.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported, the officials of the World Health Organization have admitted that everyone who receives a monkeypox vaccine is part of a “clinical trial.”
In a July WHO meeting, Tim Nguyen, the Unit Head of Global Infectious Hazards Preparedness at the World Health Organization Emergency Programme, affirmed monkeypox vaccine efficacy remains unknown since it has never been used on a mass scale before.
“I would like to underline one thing that is very important to WHO. We do have uncertainty around the effectiveness of these vaccines because they haven’t been used in this context and in this scale before,” Nguyen stressed. “Therefore, when these vaccines are being developed, that they are delivered in the context of clinical trial studies and prospectively collecting this data to increase our understanding of the effectiveness of these vaccines.”
