Monkeypox is a viral disease with skin rashes and symptoms similar to
smallpox. Evidence suggests it can be sexually transmitted. This review
focuses on the current understanding of sexual transmission, clinical
manifestations, and roles of healthcare providers such as dentists and
clinicians. Limited data exists on sexual transmission, making it less
important for healthcare providers to consider it in patient management.
Dentists and clinicians should be aware of the clinical manifestations
and be vigilant for signs in patients with recent sexual contact. This
review highlights the importance of ongoing surveillance and research
into the sexual transmission of monkeypox and the role of healthcare
providers in its management.
