Almost all had severely weakened immune systems, most often because of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus .“Monkeypox and HIV have collided with tragic effects” Dr. Jonathan Mermin, leader of the monkeypox response for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , said in a statement.
More than 90 countries where monkeypox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease, which the World Health Organisation has declared a global health emergency.Just over 28 000 people in the United States have been infected with monkeypox since the start of the outbreak in May. For the study, health officials investigated some of the most severe cases of monkeypox, which spreads through close contact with an infected person.
The researchers urged healthcare workers to test all sexually active patients with suspected monkeypox infections for HIV at the time of monkeypox testing, unless the patient’s HIV status is already known.
What a nonsense. Did you even get to find the size of the sample and data analysis. Stop propagating white supremacy indoctrinated fear. You people are just gullible.
