Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral infection that causes flu-like symptoms and a rash. It spreads through close contact such as sex. Brushing up against someone is unlikely to spread mpox.
Contact your healthcare provider if you have symptoms. Most cases heal with self-care at home.
4/5
Cases of mpox are rising in California and across the country, though risk to the general public remains low. Two doses of the mpox vaccine provides your best protection against the virus.

Get vaccinated for mpox to protect yourself and your community. Those who are at high-risk, including gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, are recommended to get the two-dose vaccine.
