Anyone can get Mpox, however, most of the cases across Europe and the UK have been in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM).

Vaccination to help protect against Mpox continues for eligible groups. If you are eligible for vaccination and wish to be considered for vaccination please contact the sexual health team to discuss this on: 0300 303 0251

If you believe you have Mpox (Monkeypox) or have come into contact in the last 21 days with someone who has or have symptoms consistent with the case definition, please do NOT come to a sexual health clinic without phoning first.

Mpox is not an STI by nature, though it can be passed on by direct contact during sex. We always encourage use of condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and we offer free condoms by post.
