tomzefis Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 well,im really unlucky....I planned a 2-month sex trip ( been planning this since 2019 ), saved the money, quit my job. and then I came to europe to stay for 2 months First weekend was amazing, and then I found out about monkeypox(. I honestly did not know anything about it until like 3 days ago ) ive been trying to get the vaccine here in Berlin but its impossible after having anxiety for the last couple of days, last night I decided to go to a cruise club and , guess what, I was afraid to do anything. Im supposed to stay in Europe sex-partying until first week of October...but now., I dont know...If I was back home I would just stop having sex....but look this...I came to this trip only to be a cum dump for 2 months..... well....Im gonna have fun this weekend ( watersports only ), and If I dont get the vaccine until Monday, Im just gonna cancel the rest of the trip. tks monkeypox for ruining my life and my dreams 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if you got it today, it would be late August at the earliest before you have significant protection. Keep that in mind as you search for your vaccine, and good luck. I'm curious where you're visiting Europe *FROM*, that you managed to plan a trip there and actually arrive without having heard anything in the news about monkeypox. I realize there are places in the world where coverage hasn't been as extreme as in Europe, Canada, and the United States, but I honestly thought any gay man who pays attention to the news would have heard about this by now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlkBttm4fun Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 It’s been difficult finding a place near me in austin tx that has the vaccine but I’m still looking and hope I can get it without a ton of red tape and interrogation. I read you have to test positive for MK or make them believe you’ve been with 10+ guys and Believe you may have come in contact with someone who has MK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersGuyAnon Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 We all love sex, but there is a lot to enjoy in Europe apart from sex. Enjoy your time here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you get some protection after the first dose - but that's in comparison to getting BOTH doses, which are given 21 to 28 days apart. It is my understanding that the first dose really doesn't offer any significant protection for at least a couple of weeks, and I know of at least one friend who got the vaccine, was exposed 6 days later, and came down with monkeypox anyway. What I think you were told is that once the first dose kicks in - not right after getting it - you have some protection even if you don't get the second dose.
