Monkeypox is not AIDS. Its not even in the same viral family. Its most closely related to smallpox, but nowhere near as serious as smallpox was. People old enough to have had a smallpox vaccine (or military members who've had it) have a good bit of protection regardless of their sexual proclivities.

I wonder if similarly the COVID vaccines may offer some protection against the corona viruses that can cause the common cold. Maybe that’s why I don’t get sick any more.
Edit: Maybe the COVID vaccine really does protect us from the common cold:
