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. Several of the men who developed monkeypox are living with HIV, but so far they do not appear to have worse outcomes. 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.
