Mpox-HIV co-infection in the mpox treatment centre in Kokolo Health District, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, November 2024 to March 2025
these results highlight the need for systematic HIV screening in all cases of mpox to exclude any case of mpox-HIV coinfection for holistic management of both diseases. Mpox can now be considered as one of the opportunistic infections of HIV. Preventive measures, including awareness and education of mpox patients, especially on mpox-HIV coinfection, are essential to reduce the number of mpox deaths in the MpoxTC of the Kokolo Health District.
