Corrections of order {alpha}{sup 5} and {alpha}{sup 6} are calculated for muonic hydrogen in the fine-structure interval {delta}E{sup fs} = E(2P{sub 3/2}) - E(2P{sub 1/2}) and in the hyperfine structure of the 2P{sub 1/2}-and 2P{sub 3/2}-wave energy levels. The resulting values of {delta}E{sup fs} = 8352.08 {mu}eV, {delta}E-tilde {sup hfs}(2P{sub 1/2}) = 7819.80 {mu}eV, and {delta}E-tilde {sup hfs}(2P{sub 3/2}) = 3248.03 {mu}eV provide reliable guidelines in performing a comparison with relevant experimental data and in more precisely extracting the experimental value of the (2P-2S) Lamb shift in the muonic-hydrogen atom.
