According to the announcement of the National Health Commission, monkeypox will be included in the management of Class B infectious diseases starting from September 20, 2023. According to the testing results released by China National Center for Disease Control and Prevention on September 8th, 501 new confirmed cases of monkeypox were reported in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) in August, with 5 female cases reported for the first time.
The emergence of female infected individuals means that the population infected with monkeypox in China is further expanding, "Zhao Wei, director of the Biosafety Research Center of the School of Public Health at Southern Medical University, told Health Client reporters. From this report, it can be seen that the female infected individuals in the cases had a history of heterosexual contact within 21 days before the onset of the disease, so the possibility of infection through heterosexual contact is high. Overall, the risk of monkeypox transmission through contact other than sexual contact is low. Therefore, for ordinary people, as long as both sexual partners do not engage in unclean sexual behavior, the risk of infection is extremely low, and the possibility of widespread transmission in the female population is also extremely low.

According to the China National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, according to epidemiological investigation and analysis, the monkeypox epidemic has the following characteristics: firstly, 98.9% of the cases are male, and 92.5% of the cases are clearly male behavioral groups. Secondly, there were 5 female cases with a history of heterosexual contact within 21 days before the onset of the disease. Among the heterosexual partners, 3 were infected with monkeypox, 1 had a recent history of rash, and 1 had no symptoms related to monkeypox.
Li Dong, the chief physician of the Infection Comprehensive Department at Beijing You'an Hospital, pointed out in an interview with reporters that in the past three months, the vast majority of monkeypox infections in China have occurred in groups with more active male behavior, and the main transmission route of monkeypox in foreign countries is also male sexual contact. From the perspective of transmission routes, regardless of gender, if there is close skin contact, there is a risk of infection. Due to the virus carried in the rash fluid of infected individuals, once the virus enters the body through small wounds on the skin or mucous membranes, it is easy to cause infection. Some male infected individuals also engage in sexual activity with women, so it is natural for female infected individuals to appear.
Previously, there have been female cases of monkeypox infection abroad. According to a report by Agence France Presse on June 21, 2022, France has confirmed the first case of female monkeypox; According to a report on August 6, 2022, the number of adult female monkeypox infections in France has increased to 20.
In the future, the number of female infected individuals may increase, and even spread within families, such as the elderly and children being infected, but the probability is low. The prevention strategy remains unchanged, and there is no need to panic. Li Dong once reminded that close contact with people with unknown health conditions, especially those who have already developed fever and herpes, should be avoided as much as possible; When an individual has a wound on their body, when going out on public transportation or to crowded places, it is important to use a bandage or sterile gauze to cover the wound and avoid accidental contact with infection. In addition, infected individuals should undergo self isolation to avoid infecting others.
Zhao Wei also reminds that the way to prevent monkeypox infection is to avoid contact with patients as much as possible. Especially for their rash and body fluids, be careful to thoroughly clean your hands with hand sanitizer and running water after going out for activities
