Spain Launches Campaign to Combat STIs Among Youth

Spain Launches Campaign to Combat STIs Among Youth Spain is tackling rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young people with a new public awareness campaign. The campaign, presented by politician Mónica García, aims to address a concerning disconnect between the perceived risk of STIs and the actual epidemiological data. Many young people underestimate the risk, leading to higher infection rates. García stated, "There's a dissonance between the perception of risk and the epidemiological reality." She explained that this misconception often stems from outdated stereotypes associating STIs with specific groups or behaviors. The campaign seeks to dispel these myths and encourage responsible sexual health practices. The campaign's success will depend on its ability to reach young people effectively and change their perceptions. Addressing this issue is crucial for protecting public health and preventing the spread of STIs.
