The Victorian CHO release made it sound as a gay man’s STD, so maybe the links aren’t being found cos people don’t want to admit what they’ve been up to??? 😉

I read this morning that all the cases in the UK are men who had sex with men. It's not a sexually transmitted disease, it's a virus that requires close contact for extended period of time. Like doing the horizontal rumba with someone, but for more than 3 minutes.

So it's not a gay man disease, they just happen to be the small sample size getting it. At the moment.

Probably patient zero just happened to be gay, so all the low iq fools will run with it

It’s what the Victorian CHO release was running with…

The article I read was very pointedly careful not to use the term "Gay men", instead referring to them as "Men who have sex with men"

Yeah not good enough, the correct terminology is Cisgender male identifying as a male, having meaningful, or maybe not meaningful sexual relations with another cisgender male.

I'll take your word for it, but they don't have to be cisgender.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Just epidemiologists feeling unloved as the media isn't banging down their door looking for their opinion.

You’ve got the wrong end of the stick here – as I think Stui is suggesting, the reason the terminology "men who have sex with men" is used is to refer to gay or bi men who are sexually active (as opposed to celibate), which is obviously important to clarify for certain contexts. It’s the same term that’s been used historically to bar sexually active gay men from donating blood, for instance. Nothing to do with political correctness.

As for "cisgender", which you seem to have an issue with as a term, it just means someone who isn’t transgender. Same as heterosexual means straight. It’s no more mysterious than that.

It has not previously been described as a sexually transmitted infection, but it can be passed on by direct contact during sex.

And the most recent UK cases are in gay or bisexual men which has prompted the UK Health Security Agency to encourage men who have sex with men to be aware of any unusual rashes or lesions.

I'd suggest that bolded bit is good advice for everyone regardless of your gender or sexual orientation.
