Vancouver Centre member of Parliament Hedy Fry has warned about stigmatization in the battle against monkeypox, recalling the fear surrounding HIV-AIDS when she was a physician in the '80s.
Fry says mistakes must not be repeated that were made decades ago when the gay and bisexual communities were"afraid and ashamed to come out" because of misconceptions about HIV-AIDS.
Fry says that although most monkeypox cases are being reported among men who have sex with men, it does not mean this is the only group susceptible to the disease. She says that as a doctor the during the early stages of the HIV-AIDS epidemic, she"had to deal primarily with the stigma and the fear and the anxiety".
