I think there’s a real risk of that. I see friends in the LGBTQ+ community who are extremely sensitive to public health messaging directed at us. Most aren’t, but some are. On the bright side, I’d say that gay men in major cities who are probably most at risk of contracting monkeypox are increasingly savvy and willing to seek out a vaccine or treatment in situations like this. I know few people in my friend group who aren’t on PreP to prevent HIV, and equally few who didn’t rush to get a monkeypox vaccine as soon as the information on where to get one became available.
