With monkeypox being declared a global health emergency, CNA spoke to two monkeypox patients based overseas to find out what their experience was with the disease.

For 40-year-old Maxim Sapozhnikov, who tested positive for monkeypox on Jun 21, his infection appeared to be milder.

“I had back pain that lasted for one to two days. But if you’re asking if this is the worst I’ve experienced so far – then I would say, for me, it was fine in general, it wasn't the worst for me.”Mr Sapozhnikov estimates that he had about 10 lesions in different parts of his body including his finger, chest and legs. WHO’s external situation report published on Jul 25 said that the global outbreak of monkeypox has grown to more than 16,000 cases, including five deaths.

However, public health experts stress that the spread of monkeypox is not just limited to sexual activity or sexual orientation. The disease can also be transmitted through close contact as well as contact with bodily fluids, which means that it is possible for the virus to infect people who have sex with people of the opposite sex and through kissing.

“When I got it, it was very scary. And a month ago, you can imagine there wasn’t a lot of information about monkeypox and there wasn’t anyone one social media talking about their experience, so I decided to do it.
