Monkeypox




Anyone can get monkeypox, but currently most cases are in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with men. • As the virus spreads through close contact, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) are advising these groups to be alert to any unusual rashes or lesions on any part of their body, especially their genitalia.
If you have symptoms
If you have symptoms of monkeypox, phone NHS 111 or your usual sexual health clinic (do not visit your clinic without calling them first) and take a break from close physical contact – including sex – until you’ve sought medical advice and know you are well.
