In 2022, there were several monkeypox outbreaks in countries where the disease was not previously endemic, particularly in the European Union and United States. While monkeypox is typically transmitted through close contact with lesions, there is a hypothesis of possible sexual transmission. This study found evidence suggesting that monkeypox and sexually transmitted infections may share the same route of transmission, supporting the idea of sexual transmission for this emerging poxvirus. Monkeypox, like any other STI, should be considered without stigma.
In 2022, many monkeypox (MPX) outbreaks have been documented in countries where MPX was not endemic. It spread all around the world, especially in European Union and United States. While MPX is classically considered to be transmitted through close contact with lesions, the hypothesis of sexual transmission has been proposed. This study considered a total of 49 patients suspected for MPX that were also tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Trichomonas vaginalis.The data from coinfected patients suggested that MPXV and STIs might share the same route of inoculum, corroborating the hypothesis of possible sexual transmission for the emerging poxvirus. And like any other STI, MPX should be considered without stigmatization.
