猴痘是一种由猴痘病毒感染引起的罕见疾病. 猴痘病毒与天花病毒属于同一病毒家族, the virus that causes smallpox. 猴痘症状与天花症状相似，但较轻，而且猴痘很少致命.

猴痘可通过直接接触传染性皮疹在人与人之间传播, scabs, or body fluids. It also can be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling, or sex. 猴痘可以从出现症状开始传播，直到皮疹完全愈合并形成一层新的皮肤. 任何与猴痘患者有密切个人接触的人都可能感染猴痘，并应采取措施保护自己.

Symptoms of monkeypox can include: 

• Fever
• Headache
• Muscle aches and backache
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Chills
• Respiratory symptoms (e.g. sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough)
• 一种看起来像丘疹或水泡的皮疹，出现在脸上, inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet, chest, genitals, or anus. The rash goes through different stages before healing completely. The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks. Sometimes, people get a rash first, followed by other symptoms. Others can only experience a rash.

猴痘可通过直接接触传染性皮疹在人与人之间传播, scabs, or body fluids. It also can be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling, or sex. 你不太可能在教室里感染猴痘.

• 避免与长有类似猴痘疹的人密切皮肤接触
• 避免接触猴痘患者使用过的物品和材料
• 经常用肥皂和水洗手，或者使用含酒精的洗手液, 尤其是在吃东西或摸脸之前和上完厕所之后.

猴痘可以更准确地描述为“性传播”.换句话说，性行为只是猴痘传播的途径之一. In the past, 猴痘暴发与直接接触受感染的动物和动物产品有关, with limited person-to-person spread. 在当前猴痘疫情中，病毒主要通过密切个人接触传播. 这可能包括接触传染性病变或呼吸道分泌物, sustained skin-to-skin contact that occurs during sex. However, any close, 与猴痘患者持续皮肤接触可传播病毒. The contact does not have to be exclusively intimate or sexual.

• 如果发现新的或无法解释的皮疹或其他猴痘症状，请就医. 请致电您的医疗保健提供者，告知他们您怀疑自己患有猴痘，然后再进入该设施.
• 提醒医疗保健提供者，猴痘是目前在美国
• 避免与他人密切接触(包括亲密的身体接触)，直到你看到医疗保健提供者.
• If you're waiting for test results, follow the same precautions.

目前还没有专门针对猴痘病毒感染的治疗方法. However, because of genetic similarities in the viruses, 用于治疗天花的抗病毒药物可用于治疗猴痘感染.

It is possible, but highly unlikely. 猴痘可通过直接接触传染性皮疹在人与人之间传播, scabs, or body fluids. 健身器材在使用前后都要擦拭干净，这是个好习惯. 如果你有任何皮疹或猴痘症状，避免去健身房.

Take the following steps to prevent getting monkeypox:

1. 避免与长有类似猴痘疹的人密切接触
   • Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with monkeypox
   • Do not kiss, hug, cuddle, or have sex with someone with monkeypox
2. 避免接触猴痘患者使用过的物品和材料.
   • Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with monkeypox
   • 不要处理或触摸猴痘患者的床上用品、毛巾或衣物.
3. 经常用肥皂和水洗手，或者使用含酒精的洗手液, 尤其是在吃东西或摸脸之前和上完厕所之后.
4. 监测自己是否有猴痘症状，如果出现猴痘症状，请联系医疗保健提供者并进行自我隔离.

那些认为自己与猴痘患者有过密切个人接触的人应该去看医疗保健提供者，以帮助他们决定是否需要进行猴痘检测. If they decide that you should be tested, 他们将与你一起收集标本并将它们送到实验室进行检测. If they determine that you need a monkeypox vaccination, 你应该联系公共卫生部门，寻求安排疫苗接种的帮助.

Because monkeypox and smallpox viruses are genetically similar, 为预防天花病毒而开发的疫苗可用于预防猴痘感染. The U.S. 政府储备了两种疫苗——JYNNEOS和ACAM2000，它们可以预防接触猴痘病毒的人患猴痘.

No, the 博彩平台推荐 Health Center does not offer the monkeypox vaccine. If you would like to receive a monkeypox vaccine, visit this Department of Health website to schedule an appointment. 您也可以拨打疫苗调度资源热线888-457-0186.

如果人们与患猴痘的人有近距离的皮肤接触，就会得猴痘. 早期迹象表明，与人们参与的活动密切相关的博彩平台推荐, sustained skin-to-skin contact have resulted in cases of monkeypox. If you plan to attend an event, consider how much close, personal, skin-to-skin contact is likely to occur there.

在这次暴发中发现的猴痘病毒类型(西非型)感染很少致命. 超过99%的这种疾病患者可能会存活下来. However, people with weakened immune systems, children under 8 years of age,  people with a history of eczema, 怀孕或哺乳的人可能更容易患重病或死亡. 刚果盆地型猴痘病毒(不是本次暴发中目前发现的类型)的致死率约为10%.
