The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and Aids (UNAIDS) has expressed concern that some public reporting and commentary on monkeypox has used language and imagery that reinforces homophobic and racist stereotypes and exacerbates stigmas.

. However, direct contact with the person who may be infected or who has a confirmed case of monkeypox means that the risk is obviously higher. So, what everyone needs to know is that the risk in general is low and we shouldn’t be concerned. However, if you are concerned about any particular symptoms you are feeling, then please do consult a healthcare provider and let them know what your concerns are.

More than 80 cases have been confirmed globally, mostly in European countries, but also limited numbers in Australia and Canada. The United States has one confirmed case in Boston, Massachusetts and a further four suspected cases under investigation.patient was admitted on the 12th, they were being evaluated for various symptoms.

”The symptoms of monkeypox are described quite classically as being a rash that is preceded by a fever and feeling slightly unwell for a day or two. And then the rash is a typical rash which goes from a red rash to vesicles, little blisters, to pustules and then to a crust. And then the crust dries up and falls off.
