Mpox Symptom Monitoring

This fact sheet discusses how mpox can spread to anyone through close (often skin-to-skin) contact. This includes intimate contact (kissing, touching, any kind of sex). If your partner has mpox, avoid sex or being intimate until all sores have healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed.
When someone has mpox, standard household cleaning products and disinfectants should be used to wash any surfaces or materials that have been touched as well as being followed by handwashing. Remember to wash any bedding, towels, or clothing that have had contact with the infectious rash or body fluids.
