  "abstract": "The monkeypox knowledge among people living with HIV (PLHIV) remains largely unexplored, particularly concerning the ongoing monkeypox outbreak. This research aims to investigate the level of monkeypox knowledge and its associated correlates. This cross-sectional study was conducted within HIV outpatient clinics from July 26 to August 31, 2023. The validated questionnaire encompassed 4 domains: basic demographic information, sexual behavior, attitudes toward monkeypox, and knowledge of monkeypox. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models examined the factors influencing monkeypox knowledge. Of the 910 HIV-positive patients included in the final analysis, the median age was 34 years (interquartile range 29–41), 884 (97.1%) were male, and 460 (50.5%) HIV-positive patients demonstrated knowledge of monkeypox. Patients with a junior college or undergraduate education level (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 3.57, 95% CI: 2.51–5.06, P < .001) and those with a master’s degree or above (aOR: 3.75, 95% CI: 1.98–7.10, P < .001) were more likely to possess knowledge of monkeypox than patients with a high school education or below. Additionally, patients who expressed general concern (aOR: 6.02, 95% CI: 3.43–10.55, P < .001) or very concern (aOR: 12.89, 95% CI: 7.09–23.44, P < .001) regarding the monkeypox epidemic were more likely to possess knowledge of monkeypox than those who were not concerned. HIV patients who completed the questionnaire in Phase 2 were more likely to have monkeypox knowledge than those in Phase 1. Half of the PLHIV demonstrated a satisfactory level of monkeypox knowledge in the context of the monkeypox epidemic in China. Notably, individuals with higher levels of education, greater concern for monkeypox, and those who completed the questionnaire in Phase 2 exhibited a higher likelihood of possessing monkeypox knowledge. Public health strategies should prioritize raising awareness among PLHIV regarding the potential risks associated with monkeypox and actively disseminate knowledge about the disease through diverse channels to mitigate its transmission.",
