Abstract

Background: There is a high frequency of monkeypox (MPOX) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in men who have sex with men (MSM).

Aim: To identify the sexual behavior of MSM during the MPOX infection period.

Methods: We conducted an observational study of cases and controls were carried out.

Results: A total of 171 participants were considered, two heterosexual male controls (MSW) were included for each case of MSM with a consecutive selection of people who attended the STI prevention and control center from January to July 2022. The results revealed that the mean number of sexual partners reported in the last year was higher in cases (4.2) compared to controls 1.9 (p < 0.05). The related conditions for MSM to acquire some type of STI were sexual intercourse under the influence of alcohol (OR 2.42; 95% CI: 1.11-3.96), forgetting to use a protection method (condom) (OR 3.16; 95%: 1.73-7.48) and sexual intercourse with casual couples (OR 1.4; 95% CI: 1.01-2.16).

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated a link between the sexual behavior of men who have sex with men and the high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections during the human monkeypox virus outbreak.

人类猴痘病毒爆发期间男男性行为及其与性传播感染的关系。

背景：目的：确定MSM在感染猴痘（MPOX）期间的性行为：我们对病例和对照组进行了观察研究：研究共考虑了 171 名参与者，每个 MSM 病例包括两名异性恋男性对照（MSW），连续选取了 2022 年 1 月至 7 月期间在性传播疾病预防控制中心就诊的人员。结果显示，病例报告的去年性伴侣平均人数（4.2）高于对照组的 1.9（P < 0.05）。MSM 感染某种性传播疾病的相关条件包括：在酒精影响下性交（OR 2.42；95% CI：1.11-3.96）、忘记使用保护措施（安全套）（OR 3.16；95%：1.73-7.48）以及与临时伴侣性交（OR 1.4；95% CI：1.01-2.16）：我们的研究结果表明，在人类猴痘病毒爆发期间，男男性行为与性传播感染的高发病率之间存在联系。
