What Is Molluscum Contagiosum?
7. Who’s At Risk
Pretty much anybody is at risk from catching the disease. All it takes is contact with another infected person. However, children are more likely to catch the disease than adults are. This is largely because children tend to be in close physical contact with other children quite a lot when playing with each other.
Other people at risk include adults that have numerous sexual partners. It is also more common in people that have weakened immune systems, such as people that have HIV/AIDS. People with weakened immune systems are also more likely to find that the infection will be widespread over their bodies.
