Men who have sex with men (MSM) and people living with HIV (PLWH) perceive, internalize, and experience significant stigma from family members, healthcare providers, and community members because of their lifestyle choices. The current Monkeypox (MPX) outbreak is currently affecting both communities. The pandemic has spread to 89 countries with more than 31,000 confirmed cases, and global agencies are concerned about how the disease is portrayed in the media. This manuscript will briefly introduce MPX and its associated stigmas, providing a brief theoretical perspective on adaptive behaviors and nursing interventions to mitigate stigma. This is followed by a case-based description of the current experiences of an MSM infected with MPX. We will discuss stigma prevention strategies from an adaptation and mitigation perspectives. We will close the manuscript with how nurses can contribute to stigma prevention for PLWH that have gotten infected with MPX. (143 words)
