Monkeypox Can Be Transmitted Through S*x – NCDC Reveals

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, has warned that monkeypox can be transmitted through s*x.

The NCDC in a statement shared on its website also listed some symptoms of the disease.

It read;

“Symptoms of the illness include fever, headache, body aches, weakness, swollen lymph nodes (glands), and a rash. After about 1 to 3 days of fever, the rash erupts, beginning on the face and then spreading to the body with the face and palms/soles being mostly affected.

“They can also occur in and around the genitals which is why contact during sex is one mode of transmission.

It is mostly a self-limiting illness that often lasts for two to four weeks.”
