The Association of Mpox Incidence and Vaccination with Bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infections Incidence in Men
Utilizing aggregated, United States electronic medical record data at the state level, we found that increased mpox incidence was associated with increased bacterial STI rates in men for the same month as well as higher STI rates after the second mpox vaccination. Those seeking vaccination or testing for mpox should be screened for other STIs.
