Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted infection in the typical sense, but it can be transmitted during sexual and intimate contact, as well as with personal contact and shared bedding and clothing.

In some cases, it has produced anal or genital lesions that look like other diseases like herpes or chickenpox or syphilis.

Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted infection in the typical sense, but it can be transmitted during sexual and intimate content, as well as with personal contact and shared bedding and clothing.

All of you know wearing masks remains a key part of public response to COVID-19, cDC recommends all persons over the age of 2 should wear a mask in public settings and around people outside of your household.

We believe that if we can reduce the burden a little bit, accepting that it comes at a small cost, we may get a greater compliance overall with people completing a full quarantine, if we get more people on board to complete that overall, that will result in fewer infections.

We can safely reduce the length of quarantine, but accepting there is a small residual risk that a person who is leaving quarantine early could transmit to someone else if they became infectious.
