Description
Lei Ji and co-workers pool in 2026 what is known about how HIV changes the course of mpox. Many mpox cases occur in people with HIV, yet effects on severity were unclear. The team searched major databases through March 2025 for studies comparing patients with and without HIV.
Twenty-nine studies covering 15,522 patients fed the pooled analysis, and just over half the patients had HIV. Coinfection tied to about half again the hospital admission rate and a much higher death rate. Coinfected patients also carried more other sexually spread infections and more fever, gut symptoms, and lung problems. Weak virus control in HIV seemed to drive the worst outcomes, so close watching and early care matter most there.
