A single case of the rare but serious monkeypox virus has been confirmed in Massachusetts in a man. Recent cases in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Portugal have been linked to men who have sex with other men.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the U.S. case on Wednesday, after initial testing completed late Tuesday at the State Public Health Laboratory in Jamaica Plain.
The man poses no risk to the public and is in hospital in good condition, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) said in its release.
Contact tracing efforts are underway between Massachusetts DPH, the CDC, relevant local health officials, and the man’s health care providers.
The United Kingdom has confirmed nine cases of monkeypox since early May. The first of these cases had recently traveled to Nigeria. None of the other cases reported recent travel.
Five cases were also confirmed in Portugal on Wednesday in young men, with 15 cases under investigation.
Health authorities in Spain said late on Wednesday that they were also assessing 23 possible cases of monkeypox, mostly in men who have sex with men.
The Epoch Times contacted Massachusetts DPH for further relevant information regarding the U.S. case.
Monkeypox symptoms typically begin with flu-like illness and swelling of the lymph nodes. It progresses to a rash on the face and body. Most infections last two to four weeks.
The virus does not easily spread between people, according to Massachusetts DPH.
Transmission can occur through contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores, items such as clothing or bedding contaminated with fluids or sores, or through respiratory droplets following prolonged face-to-face contact.
Massachusetts DPH is advising clinicians to consider a diagnosis of monkeypox in people who present with an otherwise unexplained rash, have had recent overseas travel in the last 30 days to places with confirmed or suspected cases, have had contact with confirmed or suspected cases, or is a man who reports sexual contact with other men.
The advice is based on the findings of the U.S. case and recent UK cases, and is in line with recommendations from UK health officials and U.S. federal health officials.
Health care providers are being told that monkeypox illness could be clinically confused with a sexually transmitted infection syphilis or herpes, or with varicella zoster virus.
Patients may present with early flu-like symptoms and progress to lesions that may begin on one site on the body and spread to other parts.
It is very rare for the disease to occur in the United States, with most cases linked to international travel or importing animals from places where the disease is common, such as central and west Africa, according to the CDC.
In central and west Africa, people can be exposed through bites or scratches from rodents and small mammals, preparing wild game, or having contact with an infected animal or possible animal products.
A Texas man who traveled to Nigeria was confirmed to have monkeypox in July 2021.

So it’s linked to men who have sex with other men? As a passionate believer in individual rights, I couldn’t care less where men park their winkies at night. But God may have a different view.
Now the the Great Reset Crowd has discovered that the sheep will
instantly give up everything for “safety”, expect a new “deadly pandemic”
regularly.
Remember when all they wanted was to be left alone to do their own thing?
No, I don’t. When was that? They wanted to boofoo the angel men in Sodom for God’s sake. Dam near beat the door down. Lot even offered them his daughters to appease them but Noooooooooooooooo they wanted angel ass.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Holy Shit!
It has been determined that the only way to reduce our risk is to open the borders wider.
Never gets old…and so appropriate for this article.
A pox on that monkey!
Is that a euphemistic metaphor?
“Recent cases in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Portugal have been linked to men who have sex with other men”.
So sex with monkeys is bad ? Asking for a friend.
Anon,are the monkeys “consenting”?
Up next?
Gerbil pox.
Richard Gere, anyone?
Oh, the tales that ER x-ray techs could tell, around a campfire, under the spell of a little booze.
Or gummies.
Only if you and the monkeys are both identifying as males …
Massachusetts,it figures!
Seriously,stop hanging with monkies and having contact with them!
Remember back last Feb. or so the van crash with a 100 monkies escaping?!
This is really getting to be fun!
I was thinking about that crash too, James. No such thing as a coincidence.
3 feet on the accelerator folks!
I will say it again,keep/start prepping,you can do this!
As always,prepper cat is with you!
Fauci, Gates, et al must be creaming at the thought of another “vaccine”.
The monkey pox vaccine already exists and Fauci paid for it with American’s money. How convenient that monkey pox arrives in North America and there’s already a new vaccine for it. It’s almost like it was planned, as in plandemic. 🙄
Maybe “Planet of the Apes” is prophecy of our future. Or Planet of the monkeys!! whatever!!
Although specified contact with infected body fluids from infected animals is a risk and can be avoided by most people except where people live and survive dependent upon nature for food supplies an infection among those individuals is understandable .
First HIV/AIDS now monkey pox among those rainbow flag waving deviants . Obviously some men are participating in unsafe sex acts and there is a price to pay for such behavior
Yes … and US Citizens and Taxpayers paid that price to the tune of more than $1 Trillion — thanks to Fauci’s scare tactics in the ’80s about how more than 26% of US heterosexuals would die from hiv/aids … when the research at the time had proven that only gay men and IV drug users were getting it.
Wash … rinse … repeat …
The man poses no risk to the public except for the next man he fucks in the ass, or vice-versa.
FIFY
Note to Austrian Peter; If you see this man in glorious England give him a banana (but not your personal banana, and run like hell!!)
Ewwww, are you all terrified yet? Run and hide.
Four horseman come to mind a lot lately. Should I be concerned? All the boxes are checked.
Excuse me while I get on my knees and pray before the Father of Heaven for few minutes.
Please! Four horsePERSONS! And why does it have to be horses?!
Until you tell me the vax status of the infected, I am going with my own judgement – not the “experts” in the medical field.
Back in the day…early in the AIDS pandemic Strange deseases cropped up. Like Carposis’s Sarcoma as the HIV succeeded in distroying the immune system of the infected.
The evidence out of Scotland and England is conclusive. Double and triple vaxed are suffering progressive weakening of their immune systems. This is AIDS – Aquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
The vax will destroy different parts of your immune system than HIV, so don’t look for Carposis’s Sarcoma as the canary in the coal mine. Maybe it’s Monkey Pox. Safest thing is to avoid the MudBloods. Good luck all…
Oh please….enough!
Thinking another bio-weapon lab release.
Could monkey pox be the plandemic 2 Bill Gates recently spoke of?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/bill-gates-smallpox-terror-attack-b1958789.html
Ready to take your booster? Consider Dr. David J. Acer.
You may wonder how six of his patients contracted AIDS: I don’t!
Faggotpox.
Sit on your ass and keep your mouth shut. You most likely won’t get monkey pox.
Let me guess. We can beat this with lockdowns, masks, social distancing. And of course, a new “vaccine” that psycho Gates just happens to have developed in the last few weeks.
and condoms, dont forget condoms As a matter of excellent thinking, we can wear condoms over our heads instead of mask on our face or we can do both and over the winky for even better protection. Much more effective Im sure of it.
“Recent cases in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Portugal have been linked to men who have sex with other men”.
Even after the AIDS epidickic they still haven’t learned. Ya don’t put it where it don’t belong!
