After three days, a rash started to develop on his left arm and he also tested positive for Covid-19 on the same day. He was detected with the monkeypox virus, the BA 5.1 subvariant of Covid-19, and HIV-1 (with a viral load of 234,000 copies per millilitre of blood) on the following day. His antigen test result for Covid-19 was negative after two days in home isolation. There was no information on whether monkeypox from him could have spread to other people within 29 days. Researchers deduced that the patient was infected with monkeypox first and caught Covid-19 during the monkeypox’s incubation period.
