American media: Monkey acne virus transmission pathway may be wrong

It is also commonly caused by skin contact among male and male actors; however, after the epidemic is getting worse, some experts began to believe that skin contact may not cause the cause of the proliferation of the pox virus. Men's behavior may be the primary pathway of the virus, and skin contact is a secondary risk.

The NBC also said that a group of recently published academic papers and new data and trends involving monkey acne officially released by countries that appear outbreaks have shown that the epidemic of the monkey acne is not as good as the experts who thought it was previously transmitted through the skin contact. Essence Some experts even expressed more and more evidence that the virus may be spread through semen.

The NBC also mentioned here that almost all cases of acne in the United States come from male actors.
