🩺 “Le infezioni sessualmente trasmissibili non sono malattie del passato.”

Speaking to Radio Roma Capitale, Alessandra Latini, Head of STDs and Tropical Diseases at ISG, highlighted the rise in syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, especially among young people, and the importance of information, prevention, and early diagnosis. 📈 Recent years have seen a significant increase in cases of sexually transmitted infections, often underestimated or diagnosed late. Among the topics discussed was lichen sclerosus, a rare chronic inflammatory disease that can affect men, women, and children and requires early diagnosis and specialized screening. 🎙️ "Talking about sexual health without judgment is already prevention," emphasized Latini. The San Gallicano Dermatological Institute is the Lazio Region's Reference Center for these conditions and carries out clinical research and prevention activities, especially for young people.
