“…These may include fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue, followed by a rash that progresses through different stages, including the development of uid-lled blisters that crust over and eventually scab. The rash typically begins on the face and spreads to other body parts [19,23]. In severe cases, complications, such as pneumonia, encephalitis (brain in ammation), and eye infections, can occur.…”

The LGBTQIA2S + community is vulnerable to health problems, including triple-burden diseases such as Mpox, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV positivity. This zoonotic disease is a global health burden in nonendemic countries. With increasing cases of the three diseases, this community faces various threats, obstacles, and challenges. This review aimed to identify the threats and barriers to triple-burden disease, including mpox infection, STIs, and HIV infection, simultaneously in LGBTQIA2S + populations. A bibliometric study approach was used to map these three diseases' research journeys and findings worldwide. The LGBTQIA2S + community faced distinct health disparities, including the triple disease burden, which refers to the higher prevalence and impact of multiple health conditions in this group. Although there has been no specific research on the triple burden of Mpox, STIs, and HIV in the LGBTQIA2S + community, this population faces various direct and indirect threats and barriers. These include stigma, discrimination, a lack of culturally competent care, limited resource access, and mental health effects. A comprehensive approach that includes destigmatization efforts, education, accessible healthcare services, and mental health support is necessary to address these challenges and improve the LGBTQIA2S + community's overall health outcomes. Promoting inclusivity, understanding, and awareness is essential to reduce community barriers and improve health.

“…We would like to comment on the publication “2022 Mpox (Monkeypox) outbreak: a concise review focused on new features of dermatological lesions”. 1 Pinto-Pulido et al Pinto-Pulido et al pointed out that in addition to epidemiological alterations, clinical variations from the clinical picture previously described in endemic areas have also been recorded. It is unclear if these modifications are brought on by genetic changes in the virus, a unique method of transmission, unique baseline traits of affected patients in comparison to those of endemic nations, or, more likely, a combination of all these elements.…”

“…In 2022, an average of 13 cases per day was reported, with an increase during school vacation periods (Evangelista et al, 2022). Males accounted for 96.2% of all Brazilian cases, and among those who reported their sexual behavior, selfidentified MSM represented 84.1% of cases, with sexual transmission (82%) during casual sexual encounters (66%), resulting in skin eruptions, fever, genital lesions, and headaches (Brazil & da, 2022;Mungmunpuntipantip & Wiwanitkit, 2023;Pinto-Pulido et al, 2023;Schrarstzhaupt et al, 2022). Additionally, the impact of diseaserelated stigma in Brazil has led to a conservative and discriminatory wave against the LGBTQIAPN+ population, particularly targeting gay men and MSM, with homophobic statements from the former president opposing the acquisition of vaccines for Mpox epidemic control (Sousa et al, 2022).…”

Our goal was to explore self‐care practices among men who have sex with men in the context of Mpox in Brazil. This study used qualitative research methods, including interviews and thematic analysis, to collect and analyze data from male participants across the Brazilian territory. The narratives unveil men's perspectives on self‐care, risk reduction, and health beliefs during the Mpox pandemic. Our findings highlight a multifaceted approach to self‐care among men, encompassing hygiene, physical contact management, mask usage, skin lesion vigilance, and adherence to official guidelines. Men's attitudes toward sexual behaviors emphasize the importance of reducing sexual partners, practicing safe sex, and combating misinformation through accurate information dissemination. The development of these behaviors and self‐care practices can be facilitated by nurses guided by Dorothea Orem's Self‐Care Theory, supported by patient‐centered care, with strategies to address and confront the stigma associated with the disease and provide emotional support. Thus, the study underscores the pivotal role of self‐care in mitigating infection risks, especially in the context of emerging infectious diseases. It acknowledges the impact of socio‐cultural factors and healthcare policies on men's preventive measures. However, it also recognizes limitations, such as potential bias due to stigma concerns and a nonrepresentative sample. Ultimately, the research advocates for tailored education, promotion of gender equity, and healthcare empowerment to effectively manage health risks in such contexts.
