What is Mpox?

Mpox, 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 pain, followed by a rash that spreads throughout the body, and usually has an incubation period of 5 to 21 days. The symptoms are usually self-limiting, but in some cases they can be severe enough to require treatment by a doctor.

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 a skin lesion exudate or a throat swab to the test cassette. If antigen is present, a color change occurs in the test field due to a reaction with the components of the test. A colored line indicates a positive result, while the absence of a line indicates a negative result.
