      Research on the effects of social media has evidenced their influence on public opinion concerning health issues. However, there are scarce analyses that pay attention to this influence when health advice generalizes certain groups’ sexual practices. This generalization occurred with monkeypox, men who have sex with men, after two World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendations launched in 2022. Therefore, this is the issue that will be deeply explored in the article. Drawing on the methodological strategy of social media analytics (SMA), 2313 tweets have been reviewed focused on people’s reactions in front of WHO’s statements of July 2022 about monkeypox and men who have sex with men behaviours.

Por lo tanto, esta es la cuestión que se explorará en profundidad en el artículo. A partir de la estrategia metodológica de social media analytics (SMA), se han revisado 2313 tweets centrados en las reacciones de la gente ante las declaraciones de la OMS de julio de 2022 sobre la viruela del mono y los comportamientos de los hombres que tienen sexo con ...
