Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a rare viral infection first identified in 1958.
Monkeypox is spread by close physical contact (including sexual contact) with someone who has symptoms or by touching contaminated items, like clothing and bedding. It can cause flu-like symptoms and/or a distinct rash that can be bumpy or fluid-filled on the face, body, genitals, arms, and legs. It may also be limited to one part of the body.
If you have symptoms of monkeypox, isolate from others and contact a health care provider right away to get checked.
For more information, visit CDPH’s monkeypox landing page and monkeypox questions and answers page. For more information about safer sex, social gatherings, and Monkeypox, check out the CDC’s info page.
