TikTok's 'thatgaydoctor' has posted a video sharing his experience of catching monkeypox.
Monkeypox is transmitted from animals to humans. The illness lasts two to four weeks, according to the CDC, and causes symptoms such as a fever, headache and muscle aches prior to the appearance of a rash.
The doctor said he went to the Emergency Room where they swabbed his lesions to test for the virus. However he said they are"pretty sure" it is monkeypox. "I was discharged home because treatment is mostly supportive care unless you're immunocompromised so I'm just gonna rest and I'm supposed to isolate until all of the lesions have crusted over and fallen off," he said."Cases are most definitely on the rise, especially in bigger cities, and it is spread by close person to person contact.
He said he wanted to post about his experience with the virus to"spread awareness" and remind people to"check their bodies," especially during Pride month, where big gatherings are taking place. "I also want to do away with any stigma or embarrassment that anybody might have about getting any form of disease. These things happen," he said."[...W]ith this being a relatively new thing, the recommendations on treatment isolation will likely be evolving. And so make sure keeping an eye on the news and watch out for case rates in your area. Gonna get back to getting some rest. I am hoping for a speedy recovery.
