However, the knowledge regarding MPOX among MSM in Nepal is poorly understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the knowledge of human monkeypox among Nepalese MSM. A cross-sectional face-to-face survey was conducted among purposively selected 250 participants (mean age 27.6 ± 8.9 years) in Nepal between October and December 2022. The questionnaire consisted of informed consent along with questions covering age, education, and MPOX. The findings demonstrated that the majority of MSM in Nepal had poor knowledge of MPOX. Around 87% of participants had no idea whether MPOX is contagious or not. However, the results call for immediate action to improve knowledge of MSM through health education programs and appropriate interventions to spread awareness of MPOX.</p>","PeriodicalId":101454,"journal":{"name":"Health prospect : journal of public health","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10636784/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89721563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
