OBJECTIVE This study examined the specific pathways by which exposure and influence intent through perceived risk of contracting among GBMSM Beijing Hong Kong. METHODS Data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey mpox-unvaccinated Kong (n=470) (n=519), conducted between November 2023 March 2024. Structural equation modeling was performed estimate direct indirect effects, multigroup structural used effect measure modification city. RESULTS positive significantly enhanced control increased intention via higher for following six months, particularly participants Conversely, negative threat perceptions, but did not consistently raise mpox. Differences notable, with those showing weaker associations mpox, despite levels number non-regular sex partners.

Accordingly, we performed large-scale multicenter to comprehensively summarize the clinical, epidemiological, behavioral, laboratory, virological characteristics, treatment-related mpox in China. In this hospital-based retrospective study, demographic information, laboratory results, hospitalization records, prescribed medications, were extracted from electronic medical records 286 confirmed cases five regions An approximately 1:1 ratio HIV-positive (52.1%) HIV-negative was found, with an overall median age 32 years (IQR 27-37). Most patients male (99.3%), lived urban areas (86.0%), single (72.6%), had college degree or higher (62.0%). Men having sex men (MSM) predominant sexual orientation (83.0%), contact most likely mode exposure (85.4%). 17 (9.6%) reported history smallpox vaccination. Hundered seven at least one co-morbid other sexually transmitted infection. Fourteen self-reported allergy. Significant differences found between proportion MSM, anal perianal pain, levels AST, CRP, CD4+ T-cell, CD8+ NK-cell levels, outcomes. MSM individuals interquartile range 27-37 years, particularly coastal developed China, identified as "main affected population" for prevention control. HIV infection may contribute more severe manifestations, characterized by elevated AST CRP reduced CD4 + T-cell counts, unfavorable increased mortality.
