⚠️ Every visit to a gay sauna is a risk you have to take and condider.

 

Not only will you get Mpox (if you're unlucky enough) but also other STDs like gonorhea, syphilis, caladymia or worse HIV.

 

Don't think too much into it and just play safe and have fun! 🙏🙏🙏

[Guest Mpox is your friend]

Obviously you will get mpox in such places 

[Naveyafluz]

Scare just don't go, if want to go then be safe. Even if it's not sauna, you may get it from casual sex.

High chance.  Then they investigate you....all will know you go play play cock

[Guest guest today]

you can get mpox anywhere if you are unlucky

[Guest guest today]

you get mpox in sauna is like buy one get one free hoh

[Guest Cocky]

Cockpox more likely. 

[bodybuildMLY]

If you're in contact with a person who has contracted Mpox, especially in saunas whereby you will be skin-to-skin and exchange air droplets....it will be a duh situation. Simple as that.

Some MRTs are more packed than saunas.  Literally belly to belly, squashed like sardines in a can

Everyday everytime is crowded..no rush hours nowadays.

[FattChoy]

If someone who has EmmPox was in a super crowded train in the subway, is the health ministry gonna ping all of them and ask them to refrain from going out?

Yeah,  last time got peak and off peak,  now only have peak and super peak.....anyway u can't really get mpox on mrt unless the two skin touch each other throughout the journey which is rather rare, beside sauna,  another risk is massage especially those body to body massage. If the masseur got mpox,  then good luck.

Mpox can be transmitted thru linen too. 

[FattChoy]

I found this video informative

Actually with Mpox, does it affect crowds in KB? Not to say there's stigma, but KB really have many nude bodies, and a lot of fluid exchange. So I wonder is everyone ok?

The situation is like the 'peace before storm'.

Guys are slowly numb to the risks with every passing week with no news on mpox.

When mpox (eventually and surely) strike one day, with announcement of x people contracted, quarantined, and y people tracked and traced, and that a majority of these people are from the community, all possibly traced to the saunas, then everyone here will react and guess their chances of contracting it during their previous visits.  

 

There will also be a group of people who would 'thank their lucky stars' because they have been celibate (during those critical weeks) and had escaped from the outburst.  

 

Back to the main point - any weeks or period we experienced now IS the window period for the mpox to land in Singapore and spread the amongst horny community.

Should sauna should start to screen for fever & symptom?

Might as well get MRT stations to screen for it too.  Since everyone's crammed together like sardines in a can.

There is a risk always.

Depends if someone who travelled here or a local/ resident in Singapore who returned from overseas to Singapore being infected within the incubation period visits the sauna. Can also be someone who was infected by someone in Singapore then goes to the sauna.

 

The issue with Mpox is that the incubation period is much longer and also the period until first signs develop.

 

I guess someone already having all the pox probably wouldn't want to leave his house at all because of the stigma.

 

The fever screening won't bring much resolve, because the fever from Mpox will only be around 2 - 3 days and not during the complete infection period.

 

I see also the danger with fever screening that people having no real illness will be rejected from entry.

We all know, body temperature can be hotter on times but it must not be because of any mpox, flu, cough or anything else...

 

During fever phases most people are down, having headache and their dick probably wouldn't get very hard, don't think anyone not feeling well would then visit a sauna!

 

If you want to be safe then do handjob at home.

If you assess the risk to catch mpox in a sauna as low currently, then go.

You can also potentially get Mpox from your household members if one of them is exposed to it. So it does not take a visit to KB. 

[Guest Cautious]

Since the Mpox wave, was wondering how many people go KB? On my end I go but I only go when I arrange with regulars, and bring alcohol wipes just in case. Cos now Mpox the wave seem to die off, wondering if the crowd got change?

So far there's no change in the crowd.

 

Last Saturday (7 September) evening it was crowded as usual.

[mate69]

Maybe most of them would have gotten mpox vaccine by now? or no?

Whether or not the Mpox wave is dead, is hard to tell.  But the hysteria over Mpox is alive and well. 

 

Just wondering why the authorities and g@hmen primarily mention MSM demographic, when Mpox is transmissible thru contact like in squashed up MRT commuters, hotel bed linens and small pet mammals.

 

How about kindergarten, trying clothes in department shops and massage outlets?  How about doctors and nurses?

[Guest I wonder]

Just wondering if anyone has stopped visiting temporarily due to the surge of the monkeypox. 
 

The disease may pass to one another due to shared towels/intimacy etc. 

 

I have been stopped visiting but the temptation of seeing naked bodies is too strong😅 

 

Is the Keybox doing some precautionary measures or any initiatives to keep this place as clean as possible? 
 

sorry if my concerns are unnecessary. 

[mate69]

The best is to take the vacc, if available

A) Why do you single out just KB?

Aren't all saunas affected?

 

B) What Mpox wave? 

There seems to be no Mpox case Clade 1 so far. 

 

C) I don't think alcohol wipes serve anything if you engage in body to body contact with someone at the sauna...

Regulars might also have engaged with other people. 

 

Maybe you check on the ways hows to contract Mpox...

The best protection in gay saunas, MRT, etc. etc.  is to be healthy and have a good immune system.  Vaccinations may help. 

 

Mpox is an inconvenience, but it is not the worst one can catch from the rest of humanity ( and from some animals)

But the new recent strain clade 1 has a much higher death rate. 

 

Within the group of gays are many who are immunocompromised, don't forget!

How is this not stereotyping and discriminatory?

 

We see through all your false pretence, @singalion! Stop trying to act as if you are so concerned about other wellbeing, when you are just trying to take every opportunity you can to take a swipe at the entire gay community with your snide remarks!

It’s not safe at all. Had a friend that even got STD from such places, life is over. No point being good looking or whatever.

Statistically, the rate of immunocompromised persons within the group of homosexuals is surely much higher than in the straight population. 

Therefore, the new Mpox Strain under this Clade 1 imposes a higher risk for immunocompromised.

 

Why then are homosexuals classified by WHO and most governments as a vulnerable  high risk group?

 

This has nothing to do with stereotyping or discrimination. Quoting facts is surely not any snide remark on the gay community. 

 

It is a fact as can be seen here:

Why is mpox a health emergency again, and should I be worried?

The Straits Times Aug 15, 2024

...

Children, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV, are all at higher risk of complications.

Really? Homosexuals are classified by WHO as a vulnerable high risk group now? Oh please .... PRAY SHOW US WHEN!

 

Lies upon lies, just to cover your personal stereotyping and discriminatory behaviors! It is people like you who makes it hard for the rest of the LGBT population to progress! There is nothing worse than a homophobe than a GAY homophobe like YOU! So much for all your false front as some kind of a fake white knight sitting on some moral high horse! We see though all your lies, s-i-n-g-a--LIAR!

Visiting a sauna does not guarantee you will get Mpox, but it is a higher-risk setting due to close skin-to-skin contact and shared surfaces like towels and benches. The virus spreads through direct contact with rashes, bodily fluids, or contaminated materials. You can significantly reduce your risk by getting fully vaccinated with the JYNNEOS vaccine, which is the most effective protection. Bring your own towel, practice good hand hygiene, and avoid prolonged skin contact with people you do not know. If there is no active outbreak in your area and you take these precautions, your overall risk remains low.

[leckmich]

thr is no vaxx foor it rite

[riverrobles]

There is a vaccine for MPOX. If you are not yet vaccinated for MPOX then going to KB and other crowded areas, it does not need to be in a gay area, even in trains.

🇸🇬 Singapore confirms first two locally transmitted mpox cases; authorities say risk to public is low!

🇸🇬 The two cases - both men aged 30 and 34 - are also the country's first reported infections of the more serious clade Ib variant.

🇸🇬 SINGAPORE: Singapore has confirmed its first locally transmitted cases of mpox, the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) said earlier today on Thursday (Apr 2, 2026).

🇸🇬 The two cases – both men aged 30 and 34 - are also the country's first reported infections of the more serious clade Ib variant.

🇸🇬 Both are believed to have been infected through sexual contact and are in stable condition.

🇸🇬 “As mpox is predominantly transmitted through intimate or prolonged physical contact, including sexual contact, the risk to the general public is currently low,” CDA said in a media release.

The 30-year-old man had no recent travel history. He developed symptoms on Mar 25 and was admitted to hospital on Mar 30. His clade 1b infection was confirmed the following day.

He has since been discharged and placed on home isolation until Apr 20

The 34-year-old man recently travelled and had prolonged physical contact with the first case, said CDA. He developed symptoms on Mar 26 and sought medical care on Mar 31. His infection was confirmed on Apr 1. He has been placed on home isolation until Apr 21.
it is as good this 34yr old contracted it from 30yr old but 34yr old is the one who travelled??? was certain infor not being told honestly??
I am not surprised that mpox can bloom later, it could be 34 gotten it first , but it bloomed on him later 
I m not sure is this a locally transmited case and not gotten from overseas?

Are u two here, be honest and share with us , surely they both will not visit oldies sauna! but Kbox yes! or ... 
 

 

 

 

 

"Their close contacts have been advised to monitor their health and seek medical care if they are unwell. High-risk contacts will be recommended mpox vaccination as post-exposure prophylaxis."

The clade 1b strain, which is typically more severe than clade 2 infections, first emerged in September 2023

i cannot imagine being their contacts, i rec'd a call hi! do u know 34 or 30yr old, they contracted mPox which is usually detected in....
and do contain yourself ... OMG!!!
AS  gd as tellg those in the contact list, they both likely

That cant be denied esp if they both(any1 of them) also hve fun out there or visited any saunas before and after that period

 

cos for the mpox to fully bloom , it takes time

 

 

also, if u asked me last few weeks, named all the patrons i have fun with in a sauna?? I m sorryI cannot remember and I dont even have their names

how do we do contact Tracing then?? Especially, if one patronised kbox , the no. Of customers at peak period is tremendous!

 

 

 

[fenghou]

the only way to prevent it is to abstain or to get the vaccine

but the vaccine is about $400 without consultation fees and you need two shots.

 

that's $800+ and also, to get the shot you sort of need to explain to the GP why you are getting it.

[QinWei]

yes too expensive!!!

n usually most will not place emphasis on Mpox 
(more worried abt HiV) 

yes all such related medication/vaccines need pre counselling first , even in Polyclinics
