The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, a growing body of scientific evidence \u2014 including a trio of studies published in peer-reviewed journals, as well as reports from national, regional and global health authorities \u2014 has suggested that experts may have framed monkeypox\u2019s typical transmission route precisely backward.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/08\/least-8-children-u-s-now-tested-positive-monkeypox\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported that eight children were infected with monkeypox including an infant child under the age of 2, citing a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/7th-child-us-tests-positive-monkeypox\/story?id=88417787\">ABC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At least eight children in the U.S. have now tested positive for monkeypox, after health officials in Harris County, Texas, confirmed to ABC News that a presumptive case had been identified in a child under the age of 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ \">The news of the positive pediatric case in Texas comes after a child in Martin County, Florida, has tested positive for monkeypox, according to state health data. The child in Florida is between the ages of 0 and 4 years old, according to the state health data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ \">Officials in Maine also announced Friday that they, too, had confirmed a positive monkeypox case in a child. No further information about the case has been released due to concerns over patient privacy, officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ \">\u201cMaine CDC [Center for Disease Control and Prevention] is working to identify any others who may have been exposed and make vaccination available to close contacts,\u201d officials wrote in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the cases in children reported in Maine and Florida, two cases have been confirmed in California, as well another two in Indiana, and a case in a non-U.S. resident reported in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So are officials investigating these cases? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And what about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/dog-that-caught-monkeypox-highlights-risk-to-pets-and-wild-animals\/\">the dog that got monkeypox<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scientists have reported the first human-to-pet transmission of monkeypox when the dog of a gay French couple became infected after sharing a bed with its infected owners.<\/p>\n<p>It is suspected that the gay men, ages 44 and 27, caught the virus as a result of having sexual contact with other men during their non-monogamous relationship.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/08\/dog-france-catches-monkeypox-gay-owners-prompting-cdc-update-guidance-virus\/\">Dog in France Catches Monkeypox from Gay Owners, Prompting CDC to Update Guidance on the Virus<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/08\/experts-monkeypox-spread-gay-sex-men-children-dogs-2-yr-old-get-monkeypox\/\">EXPERTS: Monkeypox Spread by Gay Sex Between Men\u2026 So How Did Those Children, Dogs and 2-Yr-Old Get Monkeypox?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For weeks infectious disease experts told the public monkeypox is largely transmitted by skin-to-skin contact.
