Italian man becomes the first person to simultaneously test positive for monkeypox, Covid and HIV

Scientists have reported the first known case of a person testing positive for monkeypox, Covid-19 and HIV at the same time.

Earlier this year, a 36-year-old Italian male began to develop a series of symptoms — including fatigue, fever, and a sore throat — nine days after returning from a trip to Spain.

The man, who has not been identified, spent five days in Spain from 16 to 20 June 2022 during which he admitted to having unprotected sex with men.
