Our study aims to investigate experiences of mpox patients from infection treatment provide scientific basis for control. A multicenter qualitative design was used. total 15 were recruited between July 6 25, 2023, six cities China. Semistructured interviews conducted by telephone analyzed using thematic analysis. The interview divided into two sections: patients' (prediagnosis experience, treatment‐seeking quarantine experience) advice. Prediagnosis experience summarized three themes: symptoms, possible routes infection, knowledge mpox. Treatment‐seeking time visit hospital, diagnostic difficulties, attitude toward diagnosis. Quarantine body mind reactions, reluctance self‐disclose status, factors facilitating recovery. Themes identified advice as follows: (1) Increase testing channels methods, (2) Development introduction vaccines, (3) Adjustment program, (4) Improvement measures, (5) publicity education. To effectively curb epidemic, structured measures are urgently needed address mpox‐related stigma discrimination. Targeted health education should be provided MSM, focusing on prevention, detection, services.
