True, there's treatment for Hep C. But as spankie correctly started there is no vaccination available that would prevent infection.

FWIW the WHO has just declared Monkeypox a global health emergency. Let's hope international cooperation and coordination works better in this case than at the last declared global health emergency: COVID-19.

Generally there will be little side effects. Headache, nausea, muscle pain, tiredness, and injection site reactions. From what I heard from friends and experienced myself nothing major. Have fun at the music festival.

Having had chickenpox won't improve your immunity to MPX, as they are different diseases. The virus causing Chicken Pox is varicella zoster virus (VZV), a type of herpes virus. If your immune system is down, this virus might reappear as shingles. Monkeypox however are caused by an infection by the monkeypox virus, which is related to other orthopoxviruses such as smallpox and cowpox. A prior smallpox vaccination does appear to grant a small bit of immunity against MPX. It's recommended to get a booster with Imvanex (Jynneos), a third generation smallpox vaccine that's rarer than hen's teeth at the moment.

One of the ways MPX can be transmitted is by touching items that previously touched the infectious rash or body fluids according to CDC Q&A. That comprises towels, sheets and sex toys including impact toys. [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/transmission.html The European ECDC speaks of 'fomites' (i.e. 'inanimate objects that, when contaminated with or exposed to infectious agents, can transfer disease to a new host') which doesn't tell the average person much. [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/monkeypox/questions-and-answers If you play one on one in a private dungeon/flat you should be reasonably safe with CP if basic toy hygiene is followed. If you're playing in a public setting (sex club/public dungeon) with shared toys be aware that there is a higher risk of infection involved. It would probably be quite off-putting if you were to disinfect every whip and paddle before use during the scene. Viral DNA was found in bodily fluids of infected persons including piss, cum and spit. That's not necessarily the same as infectious virus. 'The high viral load detected in saliva and semen suggests these fluids have infectious potential' according to some research.

Very simply put vaccinations train your immune system and get it to produce antibodies against viruses or bacteria. One's immune system needs time to notice a threat and react to it, however. So the virus/bacteria won't be killed immediately, but will infect at least some cells first, before the body reacts. Thus your third alternative will come closest to what will happen in a vaccinated person if a virus intrudes.

It's a smallpox vaccine that has been authorised in the EU under ‘exceptional circumstances’ for use against MPX. Unlike older vaccines that cannot be used in immunocompromised patients, this one uses 'Modified vaccinia Ankara' which has fewer side effects and isn't able to reproduce complete virions in human cells. Therefore it's considered safe for immunocompromised patients. [think before following links] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_vaccinia_Ankara

Maximum Protection will be achieved 14 days after the second vaccination. Nevertheless that protection won't be 100 percent. There will be some protection even after the first shot. For an in-depth analysis and data have a look at European Medicines Agency's "Imvanex: EPAR - Product Information" on [think before following links] https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/imvanex

The RKI (Germany's CDC) recommends for immunocompromised persons who have had the smallpox vaccine before to have two boosters of Imvanex (MVA-BN) with the second one no earlier than 28 days after the first one. [think before following links] https://www.rki.de/SharedDocs/FAQ/Impfen/Affenpocken/FAQ-Liste_Affenpocken_Impfung.html (in German) I'm not quite sure how easy it will be to get the Prep MPX vaccination, every German state seems to have slightly different guidelines. In NRW both university hospitals and HIV specialists ("HIV-Schwerpunktpraxen") are able to vaccinate. However when I got my first shot at the end of June, my specialist had to vaccinate at the university hospital. The next shot will be at my doctor's office.

Under the proviso that the Top is taking his PrEP meds as prescribed that's true for the Bottom, too. However it's a matter of trust for the Bottom.
