What is Mpox?

Monkeypox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a zoonotic disease. It is transmitted from animals to humans, but can also be transmitted from person to person. The disease begins with symptoms such as fever, headache, and muscle aches, followed by a rash that spreads over the body. It typically has an incubation period of 5 to 21 days. Symptoms are usually self-limiting, but in some cases, they can be severe enough to require medical treatment.

How does the Mpox test work?

GetTested's Mpox test uses a specific enzyme reaction to detect the Mpox virus antigen. The test is performed by applying a sample of exudate from a skin lesion or a throat swab to the test cassette. If antigen is present, a reaction with the test components causes a color change in the test area. A colored line indicates a positive result, while the absence of a line indicates a negative result.
