Chicago public health officials on Tuesday sounded the alarm over another potential monkeypox surge ahead of Pride month.
Since last summer, Chicago counted a total of 1,151 cumulative cases of monkeypox – also known as mpox – including 78 hospitalizations and three deaths, according to data last updated May 22.
Antonio King, the LGBTQ outreach liaison for the city health department, said not to share sex toys. The health department noted, "having sex or other intimate contact with multiple or anonymous people, such as those met through dating apps or on social media, increases your risk of exposure." "Pride is coming up. We went to the community to ask the community what we should do," King said. "How should we say this. What is the messaging we should have. We just simply want to protect you guys. We want us to be protected, vaccinated and know your risks."
