What is Monkeypox?

Monkeypox (hMPXV) is in the same group of viruses as smallpox, but hMPXV is much harder to catch and it is not as severe. There are two strains of this virus, and the one circulating now causes milder disease. Most people are recovering at home without any special treatment.  You can learn more about Monkeypox in this FAQ and from the resources below.
