Monkeypox primarily spreads through direct contact with lesions or respiratory secretions during sustained close contact with someone who is sick.
More than 90% of monkeypox cases in the U.S. were associated with recent male-to-male sexual contact, according to a different CDC study.
The virus can also spread through fluids or objects used by an infected person, but it’s not yet clear how much some surface contamination contributes to indirect transmission of the virus, according to the study.
Both patients had cases of monkeypox that were reported in May, according to the study. One of the people had lesions on the genitals, hands, chest, lips and scalp, while the other had lesions on the foot, leg and finger. They were both sick for about a month, according the report.
