Abstract
We discuss a case report of a 38-year-old uncircumcised male on pre-exposure prophylaxis for human immunodeficiency virus who presents to the emergency department for painful lesions over his penile region following unprotected sexual intercourse. Following the development of these lesions he developed painless, itchy pustules over his bilateral arms and back. He also had extensive pain and swelling over his penile region, which prevented him from unretracting his foreskin. Chlamydia trachomatis, Herpes simplex virus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and syphilis tests were negative. He was positive for orthopoxvirus using polymerase chain reaction. A diagnosis of paraphimosis as a complication of monkeypox infection was made.
