Anyone can be infected with Monkeypox. And, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) would like to invite Community Based Organizations (CBOs) serving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Californians, local health department sexual health programs, and community advocates to participate in a briefing about monkeypox in California. CDPH has been preparing, tracking, and responding to monkeypox cases reported in California.

Although anyone can be infected by monkeypox, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, or community affiliation, there have been infections diagnosed in gay and bisexual men, transgender men and women, and non-binary and other queer people across the United States. CDPH wants to ensure that organizations have the information and tools to support LGBTQ+ communities.

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.

When: Aug 2, 2022, 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Topic: Monkeypox LGBTQ Community Stakeholder Meeting
