Original Note:
Monkeypox is spread through any close physical contact, not just through sex. It's been frequently reported in gay men in NYC and elsewhere but that doesn't make it an STD. The masks are probably for the COVID pandemic which is still ongoing, with masks still advised in NYC. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/monkeypox.page https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/cdc-covid-guidelines-isolation-nyc-risk-infection-omicron-variant-ba5/3766416/
