Abstract Summary
The 2022 mpox outbreak primarily affected men who have sex with men, prompting targeted interventions. However, this focus risks stigmatization similar to the HIV/AIDS crisis. This editorial advocates for balanced public health strategies that address high-risk groups while avoiding prejudice through inclusive prevention, community empowerment, and broad collaboration.
