No evidence of asymptomatic monkeypox infection in a highly sexually active MSM population in Austria
Abstract Background The 2022 outbreak of monkeypox virus (MPXV) revealed new transmission routes. Incidence declined sharply in September 2022, and it remains unclear whether MPXV is circulating in asymptomatic individuals because of increased immunity. Objectives Our study aimed to assesss the number of asymtomatic MPXV carriers in individuals at high risk for STI. Methods We analysed anal samples from asymptomatic highly sexually active men who have sex with men for the presence of MPXV. Results We detected a high number of concomitant sexually transmitted infections but did not find a single sample with MPXV. Conclusions Our results indicate that the general recommendation to implement screening for MPXV is not currently justified..
