The Department of Health (DOH) has advised sexually active individuals to consider virtual sex as a precautionary measure against mpox.

According to the DOH, video calls with trusted partners are recommended while emphasizing the importance of safe interactions.

In addition to virtual sex, the DOH suggests that those with active sex lives should opt for “no-touch” or “self-pleasure” methods to reduce the risk of mpox transmission.

Before engaging in any sexual activity, the DOH advised ensuring that partners are healthy and free from any sores or rashes.
