Abstract
Monkeypox is a unique variety of pox infection. Despite being around for a long time, there hasn’t been a large outbreak of this disease. WHO has already acknowledged the seriousness of the large monkeypox outbreak in 2022. Africa’s unusual outbreak outside of endemic regions is a problem. Numerous observations have been made about the new clinical epidemiological pattern. Human monkeypox is currently spreading outside of endemic African countries, and the majority of those affected are gay and bisexual men in linked sexual networks. As was already mentioned, the current public health concern is the spread of monkeypox through sexual contact. The link between monkeypox and other sexually transmitted diseases is a growing concern because it is believed that the disease can be transferred through sexual contact. This page provides a summary of the interactions between other significant STDs such as HIV infection, syphilis, and gonorrhea. A fascinating research topic at the moment is the connection between monkeypox and other sexually transmitted diseases.
