WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Approximately 50% of patients with mpox are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected globally. Studies have shown that individuals with advanced HIV infection tend to have more severe clinical manifestations and higher mortality rates after mpox infection.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: The study revealed that individuals living with HIV have a low level of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) towards mpox. Several factors, including age, registered residence, sexual orientation, education level, viral load, and co-occurrence of other sexually transmitted diseases, were found to influence the KAP towards mpox.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: This study is the first to investigate the KAP of mpox among individuals living with HIV. The findings suggest that mpox health education should prioritize individuals with co-existing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and a high viral load.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:在全球范围内,约50%的猴痘患者感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)。研究表明,HIV感染晚期的个体在感染猴痘后往往有更严重的临床表现和更高的死亡率。
本报告补充了哪些内容?:该研究揭示,HIV感染者对猴痘的知识、态度和行为(KAP)水平较低。研究发现,包括年龄、户籍、性取向、教育水平、病毒载量以及其他性传播疾病的并发情况等多个因素会影响对猴痘的KAP。
对公共卫生实践有哪些启示?:本研究首次调查了HIV感染者对猴痘的KAP。研究结果表明,猴痘健康教育应优先针对患有性传播疾病(STD)和病毒载量高的个体。
