Abstract

The global epidemic of monkeypox, a zoonotic disease, has recently changed from infections predominantly following an interaction with animals, to human-to-human transmission [1,2]. The monkeypox epidemic in European countries is currently predominantly affecting men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) and the number of infections is still increasing [3,4]. In the Netherlands 1,025 cases have been reported as at 11 August 2022, the majority in Amsterdam. Given the spread of the disease, investigating self-diagnostic abilities, and vaccination and self-isolation intentions is relevant to tailor further public health responses.
