Discussion

Cross-sectional study assesses mpox knowledge and vaccine willingness among PLWH and MSM in Rivers State, suggesting education is needed.

High awareness of mpox was found among participants at 72.7%, yet 54.3% had poor knowledge of the disease.
Vaccine willingness was notably expressed by 60.2% of participants, despite barriers like side effect concerns and system mistrust.
Data were collected through a self-administered web form and analyzed with the chi-square test and logistic regression.
Strategies to improve vaccine uptake are vital for at-risk groups, especially younger individuals with better mpox knowledge.

Onyeaghala et al. (2025) studied this question.
