Certain media wants to portray this as a Gay Man’s Disease, which is complete and utter horseshit. All it requires to spread is CONTACT, not sex. You could get it rubbing up against sweaty dancers in a concert mosh pit. From a relative’s hug or kiss on the cheek. Borrowing a towel from a friend at the gym that hasn’t been properly washed. And from tons of other forms of everyday contact that aren’t gay sex. Stay safe and stop believing certain people’s propaganda.

Upvoting for awareness. It's not life threating; but, its a disease that doesn't need to be an epidemic. Let's get it right this time.

Infected objects. So... Gym equipment? Could that be why it's mostly gay men. (Yes, I just stereotyped. It's a joke!)

I remember someone saying it comes from anal sex and only infects gay men. I was like… did we just step into the 80s? WTF

It's unfortunate, so far 98% of cases has been in groups of men who have sex with men according to New England Journal of Medicine. ->

Anyone can get it, but so far it's spreading most in that community. Obviously anyone saying it's a "gay mans virus" are morons.
