Associations Between Both HIV and Metabolic Comorbidity and Self-Reported Mpox Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study
This study suggests that HIV and metabolic comorbidity were each associated with higher odds of self-reported mpox, and exploratory analyses indicated a possible additive interaction. Given the reliance on self-reported diagnoses and the cross-sectional design, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to reporting bias and reverse causation. Further studies are needed to confirm these associations and better understand the comprehensive health needs of MSM with co-occurring conditions.
