People living with HIV are not more likely to be hospitalized with severe mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) unless they have advanced immune suppression, underscoring the importance of prompt antiretroviral treatment, according to study findings presented at the International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (#IAS2023).
To that end, experts recommend that people who present for mpox vaccination, testing or treatment should be tested for HIV if they do not already know their status and linked to care if they are not on antiretroviral therapy.
“For individuals with unknown HIV status, mpox testing can be an opportunity for HIV testing, prevention and care,” presenter Ana Hoxha of the World Health Organization (WHO) said at an IAS news briefing.

Notice the sterilized Orwellian language, large as life.
That disease will always be known as Monkeypox.
There is nothing else quite like it.
Most probably assume Mpox is the abbreviation for texting.
The two go together like hiding and salami.
Right up there with “people experiencing homelessness”.
IOW, you could NOT care less.
Isn’t Mpox some kind of Korean pop music genre?
OMG, I think I see what you did there............
I love how they have to say “Mpox, formerly known as monkey pox.”
Like “the artist formerly known as Prince.”
Fags are more likely to get MONKEYpox ... fags are more likely to contract HIV.
Hmmmm ...
Maybe being a faggot is a bad idea.
Yes, if they exchange fluids with someone who has it.
Frigging idiots.
Yeah, you'd think.
Of course there is a common factor with both of those diseases.
No one will mention that in the liberal media.
It’s MONKEYpox!
Over 97% of US cases of MONKEYpox were reported in fags.
That’s a “gay disease” in my book. Just like AIDS.
Well I certainly hope so!
True, we aren’t allowed to talk about who is most at risk, or what behaviors are known to spread certain diseases or illnesses.
I care about people with cancer.
HIV/AIDS is 100% preventable.
Cancer is not.
“Around 40% of people diagnosed with mpox in the United States were living with HIV, but HIV-positive people accounted for more than 80% of those hospitalized, according to the CDC. A more recent CDC analysis found that most people who have died of mpox in the United States were Black gay men with AIDS.”
