Description:

Updated May 17, 2023

CDC continues to assess that the risk of resurgent mpox outbreaks is substantial in the United States. Although the daily number of reported mpox cases has fallen dramatically since August 2022, the diagnosis of several unlinked cases each week and intermittent wastewater detections across jurisdictions are consistent with ongoing undetected transmission. The risk of outbreaks could further increase as people gather this spring and summer for festivals and other events with high potential for skin-to-skin contact or increased sexual activity. Healthcare providers, public health agencies, and partner organizations should help ensure disproportionately affected populations—currently gay, bisexual, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and transgender people—have access to vaccines, testing, and treatment. People at risk for mpox exposure should 1) be vigilant of the possibility of community transmission, 2) take steps to reduce risk of infection, and 3) seek vaccination.
