Since May 2022, a Monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak has been ongoing in several non‐endemic countries. MPXV is usually transmitted after intimate contact, through body fluids, close contact from active lesions or through respiratory droplets. The recent outbreak occurrent in people with multiple recent sexual intercourse suggests the sexual route as the main way of transmission. However, there is no sufficient evidence to consider MPXV as a new sexually transmitted infection (STI), even though we believe that a link between MPXV and other STIs may exist with a possible facilitating action on their spreading. Herein, we illustrate the first case described during the current outbreak of a young man with both MPXV and acute HIV infection in a non‐endemic country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
