Abstract
The aim was to provide scientific reflections based on concepts and evidence presented by studies published on the subject in the current year. This is an integrative review, carried out during the month of July 2022. The search led us to 15 articles selected for meeting the precepts of the research question established as a guide. Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted infection, although it can be transmitted by close contact during sexual intercourse, when an active rash develops, regardless of the practitioners' sexual orientation. As with COVID-19, the use of masks, distancing and hand hygiene are ways to avoid contagion by monkeypox. Multimodal strategies, evidence-based discourses/publications, use of bundles and protocols, as well as articulations between academia, governments, services and civil society, should honor the diversity of compositions to strengthen actions and practices that preserve the autonomy of the individual and of society as a whole.
