dc.description.abstractMonkey pox is more prevalent in a subgroup of people who also have HIV, most likely because to sexual transmission and the level of immunosuppression that these patients may display at different stages of their illness. Although monkey pox can spread to everyone who comes into contact with an infected person, the causes of this subgroup's disproportionately high prevalence are yet unknown. HIV-infected individuals are more likely to experience secondary bacterial infections, longer illnesses, and confluent or partly confluent rashes as opposed to discrete lesions. Prognosis is influenced by a number of variables, such as starting health state, concomitant diseases, prior immunisation history and comorbidities. Extended Monkeypox and protracted infection may be more likely to affect those who are immunocompromised due to HIV or other diseases.This seems to occur most frequently in people who have more severe immunosuppression.
