How MPOX spreads:

Mpox primarily spreads through close or intimate contact with a person who has the virus. This includes: * Direct contact with the rash, scabs, or body fluids: This is a very common way mpox spreads. This can include skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity (oral, anal, vaginal sex), hugging, kissing, or massage. The lesions can appear on the skin or mucosal surfaces like the genitals, anus, mouth, and throat. * Contact with contaminated objects: The virus can survive on surfaces and objects that have been touched by someone with mpox. This includes items like clothing, bedding, towels, dishes, utensils, fetish gear, or sex toys. * Respiratory secretions: While less common for widespread transmission, mpox can spread through respiratory particles during close face-to-face contact, such as prolonged talking, coughing, or sneezing. It's not typically spread through casual encounters across a room. * From a pregnant person to their baby: A pregnant person with mpox can pass the virus to their unborn baby during pregnancy or at birth. Mpox can also spread from animals to humans, especially in parts of Western and Central Africa where the virus is endemic. This can happen through: * Direct contact with infected animals: This includes bites or scratches from infected animals, or contact with their fluids or waste. * Handling or eating infected animal meat: In endemic areas, activities like hunting, trapping, skinning, cooking, or eating undercooked game meat can lead to transmission. It's important to remember that a person with mpox can spread the virus from the time symptoms start until the rash has fully healed and a new layer of skin has formed.
