I think I have Monkeypox, what should I do?
If you suspect you have Monkeypox contact your healthcare provider immediately to get tested. Until you see a healthcare provider be sure to avoid close intimate contact with others and abstain from sex.
Once you have been tested for Monkeypox, if it is confirmed, then a public health official or your doctor will contact you to provide further instructions.
Most people can recover at home with rest, plenty of fluids and over the counter pain medication if needed.
It can take around 5 days to 3 weeks after exposure for a person to develop symptoms of Monkeypox.
