Also, this one is likely similar to AIDS where it’s actually spreading as an STD. In that case you wouldn’t learn it as the media would think that’s gross and not want to report it.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. As of a few days ago all but one of the cases was someone with recent male/male sexual contact and presented with lesions around the anus.

It would be incredibly foolish to think, however, that sexuality has any impact on your vulnerability. Do not come into bodily contact with someone exhibiting lesions, period.

Of course. But most transmission happens without any visible lesions.
