This study aimed to provide a scientific basis for formulating mpox prevention and control strategies for men who have sex with men (MSM) by analyzing the associated factors.
We conducted online surveys with individuals recruited through the Internet in May 2024. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors influencing knowledge about mpox.
In the 604 participants surveyed, the mpox knowledge rate was 62.91%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that the following factors were associated with higher levels of mpox knowledge ( < 0.05): age 30 years and above, education level of college or above, average monthly income ≤6,000 CYN, belief that using rush poppers increases the risk of HIV infection, recent exposure to HIV or mpox information through online media, and recent receipt of HIV or mpox prevention services.
Mpox-prevention knowledge should be promoted among individuals who have lower education levels, while the dissemination of information on HIV and mpox through online media should be increased to reduce the risk of mpox or HIV infection among this population.
本研究旨在通过分析相关因素，为制定男男性行为者（MSM）猴痘防控策略提供科学依据。
2024年5月，我们对通过互联网招募的个体进行了在线调查。采用单因素和多因素logistic回归分析来确定影响猴痘知识的因素。
在604名调查参与者中，猴痘知识知晓率为62.91%。多因素logistic回归分析结果显示，以下因素与较高水平的猴痘知识相关（P<0.05）：年龄30岁及以上、大专及以上文化程度、月平均收入≤6000元人民币、认为使用速效 poppers 会增加感染艾滋病毒的风险、近期通过网络媒体接触过艾滋病毒或猴痘信息、近期接受过艾滋病毒或猴痘预防服务。
应在文化程度较低的个体中推广猴痘预防知识，同时应增加通过网络媒体传播艾滋病毒和猴痘信息，以降低该人群感染猴痘或艾滋病毒的风险。
