If you have symptoms, you should contact a healthcare provider and get tested for monkeypox.
Call a healthcare provider immediately if:
You develop symptoms of monkeypox
You have had contact with a known or suspected monkeypox case
If you have been diagnosed with monkeypox, you should isolate until all the scabs have fallen off and the skin has healed. Until your lesions resolve, you are still able to transmit the virus to those around you. It is recommended that you reduce close physical contact with any sexual partners, friends and family to protect them from the virus. Avoid sex until symptoms clear and use a condom for 12 weeks after recovery to protect your sexual partners.
