A man who contracted mpox says he's traumatised after enduring pain for six weeks. 35-year-old Jack attended several dance parties over the King's Birthday weekend in Melbourne and decided to have a sexual health screen after noticing some sensitivity in his rectum. He told Greg Dyett that within a few days of first getting symptoms he was diagnosed with mpox and initially given drugs like paracetamol.
