How to Recognise and Prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections

This monograph was produced for the "I Ragazzi di Pasteur" (Pasteur’s Youths) book series, thanks to a joint initiative between the Ibsa Foundation and Istituto Pasteur Italia. It was inspired by the awareness that young people sometimes do not know enough about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and the danger they pose. In addition, when they have doubts or are afraid of being infected, they do not know where to turn or who they can talk to without feeling judged. The first part of the monograph, addressed at secondary school students, explains to young people how to recognise STIs (and who to ask for clarification or advice), the risks associated with unprotected sex and the importance of safeguarding their health through a few but effective "Safe Sex Rules". Practical advice is given on who to contact for immediate and scientifically correct clarifications or advice.
The second part is a comic strip on sexually transmitted infections, with dialogues written by secondary upper school students.
