China will conduct targeted education and intervention among men who have sex with men as it tries to curb the spread of mpox amid reports that infections are surging in high-risk groups.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention asked its local branches to mobilize volunteers and social organizations to reach out to “priority groups,” including men who have sex with men, to educate them about the disease previously known as monkeypox and improve access to tests and treatment. The protocol for the campaign was released Thursday by the National Health Commission.
