Researchers in Italy have reported the first known case of someone testing positive for monkeypox, COVID-19 and HIV at the same time. All three infections were new and followed a short trip to Spain.

The patient, a 36-year-old Italian man, developed fever, a sore throat, fatigue, headache, and an inflammation of the groin area about 9 days after returning from a 5-day trip to Spain, during which he had sex with men without a condom.

The man tested positive for coronavirus 3 days after the symptoms appeared, according to a case report published in the Journal of Infection. The man also suffered from COVID-19 in January, which came just weeks after being vaccinated.

Within hours of testing positive for coronavirus, a rash appeared on his left arm, and blisters spread across his body during the next few days, which prompted him to go to the emergency room at a hospital in Catania, a city on Sicily’s east coast.

A series of tests taken in the hospital came back positive for monkeypox, COVID-19 and HIV.

Unprotected sex with multiple men? Wow! Is he uninformed or stupid?

He may have been HIV+ before, though I don't know incubation period for it.

Unfortunately, the other men will remain unknowing of the viruses they've been exposed to unless they have symptoms.

People, use protection!
