New Delhi: Amid rising monkeypox cases, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised men at risk of disease to consider ‘limiting sexual partners for now’. The best way to reduce risk of exposure is ‘making safe choices for yourselves and others’, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
‘For men who have sex with men, this includes for the moment, reducing your sexual partners.’ He also asked them to reconsider having sex with new partners.
Monkeypox spreads mainly through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be transmitted through linens used by someone with monkeypox.
Although it’s been moving through the population like a sexually transmitted disease, officials have been watching for other types of spread that could expand the outbreak.
