Incidence of #HIV and #hepatitis C virus among people who inject drugs, and associations with age and sex or gender: a global systematic review and meta-analysis

This outbreak appears to be responsible for a majority of mpox cases among "children" in Spain, most of whom were teens.
While it's an outlier -- most #mpox cases have been attributable to sex -- this outbreak suggests mpox could potentially be transmitted via injection drug use. I'm glad we haven't seen such cases among #PWID so far (as far as I've been able to determine).
