How it is treated. ​The CDC reports that there is currently no proven or safe treatment for monkeypox, and most people recover and survive without any intervention.
​What is monkey pox and how is it transmitted?
Transmission of monkeypox virus occurs when a person comes into contact with the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), the respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth).
