• Lesions
  Transmission happens during close contact with another human. This contact can be prolonged physical contact or direct contact with body fluids or lesions. It can also spread face-to-face through respiratory droplets or contact with contaminated bedding or clothing. While monkeypox can infect anyone, over 90% of the confirmed cases in the United States are concentrated within the MSM (men who have sex with men) population. Although monkeypox is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, overwhelmingly, the method of transmission so far has been related to sexual activity, generally with multiple MSM partners.
