Abstract
Monkeypox outbreaks were, until recently, mostly confined to Africa but a currently expanding worldwide outbreak has recently been designated a global emergency by the World Health Organization. Genital manifestation is common and can be confused with sexually transmitted infection (STI), posing a diagnostic challenge. We herein report a case of genital monkeypox superimposed on multiple co-incident STIs in a HIV patient and describe characteristic clinical findings and management.
