ABSTRACT
Mpox is a viral zoonotic infection endemic to countries in Central and West Africa. The outbreak that began in May 2022 is novel for its global spread and transmission through sexual encounters. Research of this outbreak shows a high rate of concurrent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in patients with mpox, highlighting the need to consider STIs in mpox management, and to raise awareness of historically high levels of STIs caused by inadequacies in sexual health care. It is critical to prioritize sexual health and address health disparities to control current transmission of infections and prevent future outbreaks.
