If you suspect that you might have mpox, review the symptoms, which can include fever, muscle pains, and a rash that develops into blisters. If you have symptoms consistent with mpox, contact your health care provider or local public health authority to get tested. Limit contact with others. While mpox usually resolves on its own eventually, getting tested will confirm whether you need to isolate, and provide important information to the health care system on the spread of the virus.
Mpox symptoms can show up between 5-21 days after exposure to the virus, but most often show up between 6 and 13 days after exposure.
