How it Spreads

MPX is not a sexually transmitted disease. MPX is usually spread through skin to skin contact, including sex, but can also spread through hugging, kissing, cuddling and sharing bedding or clothing. The main way it is currently spreading is through direct contact with a rash or sore on

someone with MPX.

If you have sex or close physical contact with many people you have a higher chance of getting MPX.

Staying Safe

To reduce the chance of getting and spreading MPX:

● Get vaccinated

● Limit number of sex partners

● Talk to your partner about new or unexplained sores, rashes or other MPX symptoms

● Wash hands, fetish gear, sex toys and any fabrics after sex

CDC suggestions for safer sex and social gatherings
