Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): update on data gathered from the two Italian sentinel surveillance systems up to December 31, 2023
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are widely spread worldwide, affecting millions of people every year. In Italy, there are two different sentinel surveillance systems: the sentinel surveillance system reporting data on patients with a symptomatic STI, started in 1991, and the sentinel surveillance system, started in 2009, which reports data on people tested for at least one of the following STIs: Chlamydia trachomatis infection, Trichomonas vaginalis infection, Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection. The National AIDS Unit (Centro Operativo AIDS, COA) of the Italian National Institute of Health coordinates both surveillance systems and receives data through a web-based platform.
