What you need to know about monkeypox

"What is currently known is that monkeypox is transmitted primarily through close contact with skin lesions, bodily fluids, and respiratory droplets. Men aged between 20 and 50 years, many of whom have sex with other men (MSM), are notably included in a majority of the cluster cases, thereby indicating that sexual contact may be a significant route of transmission. The correlation with sexual activity does not corroborate increased contamination or virulence; it simply highlights that close contact and skin lesions may allow for monkeypox to spread most effectively." Divya Srinivasan is an undergraduate student. Tejas Sekhar is a graduate student. They share their stories and discuss the KevinMD article, "What you need to know about monkeypox."
