  • Matt Ford is now the first American to come forward about being diagnosed with monkeypox. The 30-year-old is an actor living in New York and Los Angeles. Ford first went public with his diagnosis after posting videos regarding his infection. At one point he had 25 lesions on his body, which are now healing. Ford says he's speaking out because he's upset that more is not being done to prevent people from catching the virus.

    He’s an actor. On Buzzfeed he wrote an article saying it wasn’t a big deal now he’s on CZcams saying all this. I’m originally from Africa. Monkey pox has been around for many years as well as chicken pox. It’s not airborne. It’s spread through close contact touching another’s skin or kissing etc. the majority of cases in the US have been within the gay population. People need to stop messing around with random encounters, you’re at risk for a whole lot worse then monkey pox.

    I’m pretty sure I got MonkeyPox in Vegas a few weeks ago and got a total of two lesions on the back of one shoulder. That was it. I didn’t put it together until watching the news after getting back. They took awhile to heal but they did and I felt fine. Maybe it affects certain people worse than others, that wouldn’t be surprising.

God bless him! I hope thus monkey pox doesnt develop into anything super serious! And one of the worst parts is the anxiety felt when suffering from a scary "new" disease in forced isolation. Humans werent meant to be alone. That certainly cant help with healing. Glad he made it through.

    I've had covid once. It was bad but not unbearable. I've not gotten any of the vaccines or a booster. And I'm a truck driver going from place to place all over the country during covid. Sometimes I was masked mostly not. But I stand little chance of getting monkeypox because I'm a heterosexual male who's married and I don't engage in sexual contact but with my wife. Neither she nor I have close intimate contact with anyone but each other. Maybe there's a lesson in that logic. This is a disease for those who entertain hookup culture. Being monogamous even in both hetero and homosexual relationships means you're likely to not contract this.

    Here's my PSA: Monkeypox typically, but not exclusively, spreads through extended skin-to-skin contact. So because it began in men who have sex with men, it has largely stayed among them.
    Had the virus first spread among straight people, it would likely have remained among them. It’s the social network phenomenon. It’s who you’re having contact with, not anything about the specific behavior (for you homophobes out there).
    The last time there was a serious outbreak of monkeypox in the U.S. was in 2003. During that outbreak, the virus spread among people of various sexual orientations who were exposed to infected pet prairie dogs, according to the CDC.
