The Mpox virus can stay in sperm for up to six months. This information comes from Ms. Vida Nyarko, a public health nurse. She spoke with Emmanuel Akomene Acheampong on Good Morning Taadi.

Ms. Nyarko emphasized the importance of this finding. She urged those infected to take precautions against transmission. Given the virus's persistence in sperm, safe sex practices are crucial.

She recommended abstinence and responsible sexual behaviors. This helps protect both individuals and their partners' health.

The Effia Kwesimintim Municipal Health Directorate is taking action. They are educating high-risk groups about Mpox. Ms. Nyarko mentioned that they have visited commercial sex workers.

These visits aim to provide education on transmission, prevention, and management of Mpox. The goal is to empower individuals with knowledge to protect themselves and clients.
