Abstract
Monkeypox (Mpox) has emerged as a global threat since 2022. We reported 14 cases of Mpox in 10 people with HIV (PWH) and 4 people without HIV (PWoH), of whom 64.3% had sexually transmitted co-infections. Severe complications of Mpox and prolonged viral shedding might occur in both PWH and PWoH.
