How are men who have sex with men protecting themselves from monkeypox?

As monkeypox continues to spread, a key question is how communities most affected are trying to stay safe. A new report from the United States focuses on gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, documenting the various strategies they've adopted to prevent transmission. The report doesn't present specific findings or data yet—it's more of a snapshot of what's being looked at, rather than a finished study with clear results. Because this is an early report and not a completed research study, we don't know yet which strategies are most common or effective, or if there are any downsides to the approaches people are taking.
