Assessing mpox knowledge and sexual behaviours within high-risk populations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
BACKGROUND: Historically, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has faced the greatest public health burden from mpox, including more than 70 000 probable cases from 1 January 2024 to 2 February 2025. However, there has been a relative paucity of investigation focused on mpox community engagement in DRC, including assessments of disease knowledge and risk perception. METHODS: Given the ongoing Clade I mpox public health emergency of internat…
A peer-educator driven approach for sampling populations at increased mpox risk in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Implications for surveillance and response
The epidemiological risk factors associated with mpox acquisition and severity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are changing. We assessed perceived mpox risk, and behavioral, clinical and sexual histories among key populations at risk of acquisition through sexual contact. Here, we describe a sampling strategy to enroll participants considered to be at increased risk for mpox infection - men who have sex with men (MSM) and sex worker…
