Since the corona epidemic, many such diseases have been seen, which were not even heard of until now. Before Covid-19, there will probably only be a few diseases for which science has not been able to find a cure – like HIV. Everyone is aware that there is currently no effective cure for it. Earlier Kovid-19 and now monkeypox are serious diseases. Both of these diseases can be prevented, but their exact treatment has not yet been found.
In such a situation, in the midst of all this, the international agency BNO News came out with shocking and disturbing news in which a 36-year-old man in Italy tested positive for all three diseases, including monkeypox, Kovid-19 and HIV.
