Although the recent outbreak of monkeypox cases seem to primarily spread through sexual contact between men, a recent case documented at Stanford University raises questions about transmissibility.
According to the letter, the man had attended a large, crowded outdoor event where he had close contact with others, such as dancing, for a few hours. However, they haven't determined exactly where the man contracted the virus."You can get it even without sex. It's rare, but it can happen," she said."This seemed to be a one-off case."
"This was a very rare event. Try not to worry," she said."Yes, lightning can strike, but hopefully it will not happen to you."On Saturday, Dr. Lukejohn Day, the Chief Medical Officer for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, told KPIX 5:"It's skin-to-skin contact, so anyone who comes into contact with the lesion potentially is at risk for contracting it."
"You're seeing in Quebec and the U.K., where they got the vaccine out faster, cases are already coming down," she said."It should happen in the United States, as long as we get the vaccine out faster."
