Is the new monkeypox virus an STD?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The CDC first detected cluster cases of monkeypox virus in the United States in 2003.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As cases of a “new” monkeypox spreads in US cities, experts are questioning whether the virus is sexually transmitted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle aches, weakness, and swollen lymph nodes (in neck, armpits and groin areas. Symptoms are followed by blisters that burst and crust over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health officials say monkeypox infection can be prevented by vaccines stockpiled from previous outbreaks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The viral disease is believed to be\u00a0spread to humans<\/a>\u00a0by domestic prairie dogs and other exotic animals being kept as household pets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health officials wonder if the recent spike in monkeypox cases in the U.S. and Europe is caused by a “new” virus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the first months of 2020, more than 4,500 cases and 171 deaths have been tracked by the World Health Organization (WHO).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now officials fear that monkeypox has mutated into a new, more contagious virus that is sexually transmitted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The cases currently being detected are among those engaging in sexual activity, and the symptoms are unfamiliar to many,” the WHO said in a statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jeremy Faust\u00a0discovered<\/a>\u00a0that all 89 confirmed monkeypox cases in Europe are among men who had sex with men.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the cases confirmed in Europe, Dr. Faust said, “all 89 are males, a large number of whom are young and middle-aged adults.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Faust said the evidence “suggests strongly” that monkeypox may still be primarily spread through sexual contact, a known major mode of transmission.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said if the virus was spread through the air via respiratory droplets or surface to skin contact, some women would be infected by now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virologist Angela Rasmussen believes the virus is spread within a sexual network of men who then travel, which explains why the virus is popping up in other countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
