The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is warning about a rise in mpox cases in the Los Angeles area and urging those at the highest risk of transmission to get vaccinated against the potentially serious disease.
The vaccine is strongly recommended for men or transgender individuals who have sex with men or other transgender individuals, as well as anyone involved in “commercial and/or transactional sex.” It’s also encouraged for people who engage in sexual or intimate physical contact at large public events, those living with HIV, and the sexual partners of individuals in any of these groups.
Mpox, which was previously referred to as monkeypox, is spread through close contact, primarily through contact with body fluids, sores and shared bedding or clothing. It can also be transmitted through respiratory droplets from kissing, coughing and sneezing.
Public Health has released the following tips to reduce risk of spreading mpox:
* Ask partners if they have mpox symptoms or feel sick, and avoid intimate contact if there’s a new or unexplained rash or illness until consulting a health care provider.
* Limit the number of partners, especially those with unknown sexual history.
* Exchange contact information with new partners for sexual health follow-up if needed.
*;Avoid sex parties or spaces where intimate contact with multiple people occurs.
* Use condoms and gloves to reduce exposure, but note that condoms may not fully protect against mpox.
* Don’t share towels, clothing, bedding, fetish gear, sex toys or toothbrushes. Wash hands as well as those items after each use.

Do not use the word monkey. Only use the letter m to avoid offending the monkey community.
