Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease and leads to a smallpox-like disease in humans. The current epidemic in European countries requires informed responses. We investigated the ability to self-diagnose a potential infection, and determinants of vaccination and self-isolation intention after diagnosis among 394 MSM in the Netherlands. We found that about half were able to self-diagnose monkeypox, that 70% had a high intention to get vaccinated and 44% to self-isolate after monkeypox diagnosis. Determinants went beyond mere risk behaviour criteria.
猴痘是一种人畜共患疾病，可导致人类出现类似天花的疾病。目前欧洲国家的猴痘疫情需要采取明智的应对措施。我们调查了荷兰 394 名男男性行为者在自我诊断潜在感染、接种疫苗和诊断后自我隔离意愿方面的能力，以及影响这些行为的因素。我们发现，约一半的人能够自我诊断猴痘，70%的人有强烈的接种意愿，44%的人在诊断出猴痘后有自我隔离的意愿。决定因素不仅限于单纯的风险行为标准。
