A man tests positive for monkeypox, Covid19 and HIV at the same time

 In a shocking incident, a 36-year-old man in Italy tested positive for Monkeypox, COVID-19, and HIV at the same time. Scientists have reported this incident as the first known case of a person testing positive for these viruses all at once.

Reportedly, the man developed severe skin rashes on the face and other body parts, nine days after returning from a trip to Spain earlier this year. Subsequently, he developed a series of symptoms, including fatigue, headache, inflammation, fever, and a sore throat.

He reportedly spent five days in Spain from June 16 to 20, during which he had unprotected sex with other men. According to a case study report published in the Journal of Infection, he tested positive for Covid-19 on July 2. On the same day, he started to develop a rash on his left arm. Consequently, small, painful vesicles surrounded by a rash started appearing on his torso, lower limbs, face, and glutes. 

The man visited a hospital's emergency department because of the severity of his condition. Later on, he was referred to the infectious disease unit for admission. According to Newsweek, the man's physical examination revealed a modest enlargement of the liver and spleen and painful enlargement of the lymph nodes. 

The sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 genome confirmed that he was infected with the Omicron sub-variant BA.5.1 of Covid-19. His test results also confirmed the presence of Monkeypox infection. Later on, he also tested positive for HIV, a virus that attacks the body's immune system. His condition was severe. Reportedly, the man was vaccinated for Covid-19 with two doses of Pfizer's mRNA vaccine.

The man was discharged from the hospital after a week. He recovered from COVID-19 and Monkeypox infections. However, a small scar remained after the treatment. Reportedly, treatment for his HIV infection was initiated.
