“How many deaths do I have to wait to get vaccinated?” says the activist known as El Che de los Gays. This is the first resource for protecting an HIV positive person against minsal.
HIV/AIDS community activist, Victor Hugo Robles, known as “The Che of gays”, filed a protection resource against the Minister of Health, asking to be vaccinated against monkeypox.
This is the first resort for protecting an HIV-positive person against Minsal, which requires immediate vaccination against monkeypox.
According to the legal resource, Healthcare response notes that “person-to-person transmission can occur through close contact with infected respiratory secretions or skin lesions of an infected person, or with items recently contaminated with patient fluids or wound materials. Transmission occurs mainly by respiratory droplets.
Similarly, the Ministry of Health states that – according to the indications of the expert committee on CAVEI vaccines – the priority persons to be inoculated must be “people who perform high-risk sexual practices, with an indication of pre-prophylaxis of exposure to HIV or HIV-infected.
“In this context of increasing cases of affected and deceased people, especially people living with HIV/AIDS, my health is endangered by Monkeypox infection, considering my medical condition of various underlying chronic diseases and the limited implementation of Monkeypox vaccination by the Ministry of Health, with no vaccination for people living with HIV without pre-exposure infection,” the resource adds.
“As the Ministry of Health dedicates itself to publicly reporting monkeypox deaths, people living with HIV must continue to wait for monkeypox vaccination, generating anguish, concern and growing concern.” scope.

In a conversation with BioBioChile, Robles highlighted that most of the infected cases are young homosexual men and people with HIV.
“In the world 50 have died and in Chile 2 and all the deceased were HIV positive”, he specifies.
“I don’t want to die of Monkeypox, so I ask the Court to order my immediate vaccination. Along with HIV I am hypertensive and with chronic kidney damage. I belong to the most exposed and vulnerable group”, adds the “Che de los Gays”.
