OK - its not a STI - 95% of all cases are transmitted by sexual encounters.... Not my #'s.
Call it what you will be it is being spread overwhelmingly by M2M sexual encounters - NEJM is the source.
Please tell me what i do not get. If the disease was called applepox and spread by eating apples you would suggest (I hope) that people stop eating those apples until the curve was flattened. sheeeshhh...
thats my point. Everyone fighting the concept that the source should be addressed and stigmatized if that is what it takes to stop the spread. If you get rid of the source you do not need to worry about the effect IF...
The correct approach to this is to initiate ring vaccination protocols and contact tracing for anyone/everyone involved and not to worry about what to call it or which group to blame. The gay community is already aware of the issues and public health outreach to them is already in full swing. That the spread is currently primarily transmitted by sexual activity won't persist because it's contact with lesions that's the primary cause.
