Description:Helping people make the best-informed decisions to protect their health and the health of their community from monkeypox requires a combination of providing key prevention information to the public and working with partners and trusted messengers to ensure information reaches affected communities.
Anyone can get monkeypox, and CDC is carefully monitoring for monkeypox that may be spreading in any population. We are working to provide frontline healthcare providers and public health officials with information about what monkeypox looks like
and how to manage the illness.
Based on reports from outbreaks in other countries, many—though not all—of the reported cases have been among gay and bisexual men. The data tell us we need to put added emphasis on channels that will take public health information to gay and bisexual men—across big cities and small towns, across racial and ethnic lines, and among all socioeconomic backgrounds. In addition to broad outreach efforts, we are also raising awareness of the current situation with multiple partners in the LGBTQIA+ community.
