From June 16 to 30, 2023, men who have sex with men (MSM) who had visited Voluntary Counseling Testing (VCT) clinics in the Luohu, Futian and Nanshan districts of Shenzhen were included in this study to analyze their awareness of Mpox and the influencing factors. The mean age of the 262 MSM was (34.78±8.94) years, with the majority being unmarried (75.2%) and 79.0% confirmed to be infected with HIV. The awareness rates for five primary indicators, current status of Mpox, pathogen and source of infection, mode of transmission, population susceptibility, clinical manifestations and treatment were 68.4%, 84.7%, 60.3%, 87.8%, and 52.5%, respectively. The awareness rates for five secondary indicators, earliest transmission location (44.7%), main mode of transmission (54.2%), role of masks (46.9%), drug accessibility (46.6%), and self-limiting nature (38.2%) were all below 60%. The MSM population in Shenzhen perceived their likelihood of being infected (2.76±1.32) and discriminated against (3.87±1.26) as relatively low. The logistic analysis showed that the high school or vocational school education (OR:3.094, 95%CI:1.180-9.299), college or above education (OR:5.360, 95%CI:2.159-15.501), and higher scores on questions affecting learning or work (OR:2.196, 95%CI:1.409-3.599) were promoting factors for Mpox awareness, while higher scores on questions concerning the possibility of Mpox mortality (OR:0.591, 95%CI:0.432-0.791) was the hindering factor for Mpox awareness.
于2023年6月16—30日，将在深圳市罗湖、福田和南山区的艾滋病咨询检测门诊进行咨询检测的MSM人群纳入研究，分析其猴痘认知水平和影响因素。262名研究对象年龄为（34.78±8.94）岁，未婚为主（75.2%），确诊感染HIV者占79.0%；猴痘现状、病原体和传染源、传播方式、人群易感性、临床表现和治疗5个一级指标的知晓率分别为68.4%、84.7%、60.3%、87.8%、52.5%；最早传播地（44.7%）、主要传播方式（54.2%）、口罩作用（46.9%）、药物可及性（46.6%）、自限性（38.2%）5个二级指标知晓率低于60%；认为自己被传染可能性（2.76±1.32）、被歧视的可能性（3.87±1.26）得分较低。多因素logistic回归模型分析结果显示，高中或中专学历（OR：3.094，95%CI：1.180~9.299）、大专及以上学历（OR：5.360，95%CI：2.159~15.501）、影响学习或工作题目得分较高（OR：2.196，95%CI：1.409~3.599）是猴痘认知的促进因素，猴痘致死可能性题目得分较高（OR：0.591，95%CI：0.432~0.791）是猴痘认知的阻碍因素。.
