monkeypox outbreak in the UK, which is currently confirmed to have infected at least 56 people so far, is thought to have started at two sex parties in mainland Europe.World Health Organisation expert Dr David Heymann says that it’s likely that the DNA virus that causes the disease was brought to the UK by people who had engaged in intimate encounters at recent sex parties in Belgium and Spain.“We know monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected,” he said.
