Quincy_7 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) We now know that seminal fluid (i.e. semen) is a vector of transmission for monkeypox. This is another argument for safe sex regardless of whether or not you're on PreP. Edited July 28, 2022 by Quincy_7 Tactile Daddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv2play Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Reading the LA Blade article it is clear that MPX will spread like wildfire in LA. Reminds me of how HIV spread in the gay community in the early 1980's, to which I was a witness in San Francisco and elsewhere.

It was balanced, restrained, non-judgmental and gave good realistic advice. My favorite line though…. "“Get the fuck out of here you old freak,” said a trans woman who was watching a group of 4 engaged in group sex near the children’s slide on the western side of the park." Brilliant shade.

SirBillybob Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) In the interests of taking what we can get even from very small bodies of research, and applying it, a small safety/immunogenicity study of MVA-BN in eczema subjects and controls (N=60) a few years ago suggests waiting a bit longer than 2 weeks following 1st dose. For a small percentage, no difference among subgroups, the humoral immunity standard occurred some time after, maybe not 4 weeks needed but >2 weeks. No seroconversion testing between Day14 and Day28. Add this caveat to likely less than 100% efficacy even with seroconversion. I meant to crop out the 2nd paragraph in the screenshot; it’s unrelated to this post. Edited July 28, 2022 by SirBillybob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA County Public Health has several POD (Point of Dispensing) clinics where you can walk in without an appointment. Only prerequisite is that you should be on PreP. But they do request ID, so I assume they also look for residency? menaughty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple, friends of mine, went for a routine STI screening, to a NYC STI clinic /Sexual Health Clinic; both of them were offered and got the vaccine.

Chancealot Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Wondering if escort biz is down due to Monkey Pox concerns. As an occasional consumer I’m def more concerned about hooking up with someone who is likely a volume player. And on the escort side have to believe some are concerned about anon partners status. I know it’s less of a concern than HIV but there are ways to avoid that - condoms etc what do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BtmBearDad Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I was finally getting back into the swing of things - after the long desert that was the last 2+ years - both IRL and with this hobby. Of course the pox rears it’s head! 😤 I’ve been up and down with putting a pause on this hobby, but after a chat with a good friend who is a doctor, regretfully I have indeed pressed the pause button. I had been in communication with a visiting provider regarding an engagement this Friday or Saturday, but I messaged him my concerns, and regrets for having to cancel - even tho he’s vaxxed. Thankfully he was very understanding, said I’m not the only one, assured he won’t think of me as a flake (I said something about not flaking, just worried). I have my first jab on Sunday, so hopefully he’ll be back - hell - I’ll even go to him once fully vaxxed! 😜 BBD TorontoDrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanDean Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 This afternoon, the organizer of two notable NYC sex parties (whose email list I subscribe to) sent out a message encouraging recipients to be vaccinated, and providing instructions how to do s0. This fits, as these parties often have on-site STI and HIV testing available and the messages often include information about sexual health.. But it was how he closed today's message that really caught my attention...Getting vaccine to all of us who want to be vaccinated will take some time. I'm hoping the parties can return by October; we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ StLouisOct Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Don’t know, but you’re not asking about an escort, so you may not get the discussion you’d like. Try putting your question in the section for discussions with escorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
