Toronto Public Health has developed some new MPOX resources which are now available at webpage: www.toronto.ca/monkeypox  
Community agencies and other partners, such as bathhouses, are encouraged to use these materials to help promote MPOX prevention. 

 General MPOX prevention poster

  • Can be used in various settings to inform the public about ways people can reduce their risk.
MPX prevention poster for people who use substances
  • Developed in response to questions from community agencies and harm reduction advocates about reducing MPOX transmission in the context of drug use.
MPOX Self-Screening Poster
  • Aims to expand awareness of MPX symptoms. 
  • In particular, bathhouses and other sex-on-venue premises may be interested in displaying this poster at entrances.
 Checklist for sex-on-venue premises
  • Provides guidance on how to prevent MPOX spread in bathhouses, sex clubs, private sex parties and other venues where sex occurs.
