Clinical characteristics of monkeypox virus infections among men with and without <scp>HIV</scp>: A large outbreak cohort in Germany

Abstract

In this preliminary cohort analysis from a current large outbreak among MSM in Germany, the clinical picture of MPXV infection did not differ between MSM with and without HIV infection. Severe courses were rare and hospitalization rates were low. However, most patients were relatively healthy, and only a few people living with HIV were viremic or severely immunosuppressed.
