People with HIV are over-represented in current mpox cases. We do not know if having HIV increases the likelihood of getting infected with mpox virus if exposed, however, we do know that people with advanced HIV (immunocompromised) are at increased risk of severe mpox and death if they get the mpox virus. Learn more about how mpox spreads.
If you have HIV, you should follow the same recommendations as everyone else to protect yourself from mpox, including getting vaccinated. Taking your HIV medication as prescribed and keeping an undetectable viral load are the best things you can do to stay healthy and doing so also prevents you from sexually transmitting HIV to your HIV-negative partner.
