Article Synopsis
- - High prevalence of monkeypox (MPOX) and STIs was observed among men who have sex with men (MSM), prompting an investigation into their sexual behaviors during the MPOX infection period.
- - An observational study involved 171 MSM participants, who had significantly more sexual partners in the past year (average of 4.2) compared to heterosexual male controls (average of 1.9), with statistical significance (p < 0.05).
- - Key risk factors for acquiring STIs among MSM included alcohol use during sex, forgetting to use condoms, and engaging in sexual activity with casual partners, indicating a strong correlation between these behaviors and the rise in STI prevalence amid the MPOX outbreak.
