There have been over 170 diagnoses of monkeypox in the U.S. since the outbreak began in early May. The vast majority of cases are among gay and bisexual men.
Pride workers and volunteers will be manning parades and other events, handing out flyers and palm cards. Monkeypox information also has been blasted out on the social media channels of Pride organizers and their partner organizations.
Helping to drive the nation’s monkeypox response, including its messaging, is Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, head of HIV prevention at CDC. He previously held a similar position within the health department in New York City, which saw swiftly declining HIV diagnoses during his tenure. “If you give the right messaging to the right social network, people actually step up and do pretty amazing things,” Daskalakis said. He pointed to the group of gay men at thein Provincetown, Massachusetts, in the summer of 2021. They left state public health officials astonished by how meticulously and eagerly they documented the spread of the coronavirus among them — all in the name of public health.
According to Anne Rimoin, a professor of epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and one of the world’s leading monkeypox researchers, outdoor events will likely pose no substantial risk of monkeypox transmission. Club venues, however, are a concern, considering that people will be packed tightly together and will likely be baring considerable exposed skin.
