, but it is not known if this is the result of more severe monkeypox illness, the study authors noted.
As of September 8, there were over 21,500 monkeypox cases in the United States, which makes up about 38% of global cases. Monkeypox has been primarily spreading in men who have sex with men, and is transmitted through close physical contact or contact with materials that may contain the virus, such as bedsheets or towels.
Individuals living with HIV also had higher rates of hospitalizations compared to those without the virus . In previous monkeypox outbreaks in Nigeria, people with HIV did have poor monkeypox clinical outcomes, but it is unknown whether the hospitalizations captured in this analysis were because of more severe monkeypox illness.
