Resumo: | This study analyzes the prevalence and spatial aspects of Monkeypox (MPX) in Rio Grande do Sul, considering the public health emergency declared by the World Health Organization in July 2022 and its relation to the high incidence of the disease in gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Data were provided by the Rio Grande do Sul State Health Department via the Access to Information Law and revealed an incidence rate 53 times higher in MSM populations compared to heterosexual people and 48 times higher compared to bisexual people. In addition, MPX disproportionately affects Black and Brown people, with an incidence rate three times higher than the White population. Spatial analysis of the disease demonstrated its concentration in metropolitan areas. It is suggested that disseminating evidence-based information is essential to avoid stigmatization of these groups and that ring vaccination is crucial to prevent the endemic spread of the disease. It is concluded that Black and Brown gay men and MSM are at the highest risk for MPX, and preventive actions should be implemented to protect these vulnerable groups, avoid disease spread and ensure health equity. |

It is concluded that Black and Brown gay men and MSM are at the highest risk for MPX, and preventive actions should be implemented to protect these vulnerable groups, avoid disease spread and ensure health equity.On May 20, 2022, a gay sauna was closed in Spain after a case of Monkeypox (MPX) was reported. On July 23, 2022, the World Health Organization declared MPX a public health emergency. The prevalence of the disease among gay men and other men who have sex with men has caused déjà vu in the gay community, reminiscent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This study analyzes the spatial and epidemiological aspects of MPX in Rio Grande do Sul. Data were provided by the State Department of Health through the Access to Information Act. The incidence rate in the gay population and other MSM is 53 times higher compared to the heterosexual population and 48 times higher compared to bisexuals. MPX disproportionately affects black people (black and brown), with an incidence rate 3 times higher compared to the white population. It is suggested that the dissemination of information based on scientific evidence is essential to avoid the stigmatization of these groups and that ring vaccination is essential to prevent the endemization of the disease.Este estudo analisa a prevalência e os aspectos espaciais da Monkeypox (MPX) no Rio Grande do Sul, considerando a emergência de saúde pública declarada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde em julho de 2022 e a alta incidência da doença em homens gays e outros homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH). Os dados foram fornecidos pela Secretaria Estadual de Saúde por meio da Lei de Acesso a Informação e revelaram uma taxa de incidência 53 vezes maior em populações gay/HSH em relação a heterossexuais e 48 vezes maior em relação a bissexuais. Além disso, a MPX afeta desproporcionalmente as pessoas negras (pretas e pardas), com uma taxa de três vezes maior em comparação com a população branca. A análise dos aspectos espaciais da doença demonstrou a sua concentração em áreas metropolitanas. É sugerido que a disseminação de informações baseada em evidências científicas é essencial para evitar a estigmatização desses grupos e que a vacinação por anéis é imprescindível para impedir a endemização da doença. Conclui-se que os homens gays e HSH negros são as populações em maior risco para MPX, e que ações preventivas devem ser implementadas para proteger esses grupos vulneráveis, evitando a disseminação da doença e garantindo a equidade em saúde.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2023-07-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/6818810.14393/SN-v35-2023-68188Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 35 No. 1 (2023): Sociedade & Natureza; v. 35 n. 1 (2023): 1982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/68188/36400https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/68188/36401Copyright (c) 2022 Maurício Polidoro, Daniel Canavese de Oliveira, Paulo Ricardo Rocha Nogueirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPolidoro, MaurícioOliveira, Daniel Canavese deNogueira, Paulo Ricardo Rocha2023-08-25T14:35:58Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/68188Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2023-08-25T14:35:58Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
