What does the monkeypox outbreak mean for people living with HIV?

The new monkeypox outbreak continues to spread in the UK and worldwide, mainly affecting men who have sex with men.

While anyone can contract the virus through close personal contact, experts and advocates are urging gay and bisexual men, in particular, to be alert for symptoms and take precautions during Pride season.
