The infected in the Montreal area are mainly men who had sexual relations with other men, between the ages of 30 and 55, although it’s not thought to be a sexually transmitted disease. Montreal’s initial cases were believed to be linked to a traveller from Boston, and cases spread in the gay community because there happened to be a chain of transmission among some members.

Many recent suspected cases have been observed in gay and bisexual men, but Dr. Bergeron urged the public to remember that monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted infection.
“Transmission takes place with prolonged, close contact with infected people,” she said. “Some cases have been linked to travel, but not all. We do not want to stigmatize any segment of the population.”
