| Abstract: |
The article discusses the mpox outbreak, a disease similar to smallpox that is thought to be caused by a virus that jumped from animals to humans. The outbreak has been designated a public health emergency of international concern, with men who have sex with men identified as a high-risk group. The article highlights the challenges of addressing the outbreak in a stigmatized community and draws parallels to the HIV/AIDS crisis. Lessons from HIV/AIDS, such as coordinated messaging and community outreach, are being applied to combat mpox. The article also mentions the need for access to vaccines and the mobilization of resources by global health institutions. [Extracted from the article] |
