The last we heard of the official advice for Monkeypox was – uh – to avoid casual group sex with gay men or LGBTQ+ festivals that involve shagging between strangers. Cases of Monkeypox have since been extremely small and almost exclusively contained to gay men presenting at healthcare clinics.

The World Health Organisation updated its public health guidance to this effect. Public health advice for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men on the recent outbreak of Monkeypox.

As of July 19, Australia had reported 41 cases (both confirmed and probable) of Monkeypox.
