Argentina launches sexual health and HIV prevention campaigns
Public health initiatives are being launched in Argentina to promote sexual health and disease prevention. In Plaza Huincul, a campaign for HIV and STI prevention and awareness will take place on September 4. The event, coordinated by the Secretariat of Women, Gender, and Diversity and the Directorate of Disability, will offer free, voluntary, and confidential rapid HIV testing. This intervention follows a health report indicating a 50% increase in STI detections in the region.
In Tres Arroyos, the Municipal Health Center will hold the fourth edition of the 'La Previa de la Previa' festival on September 9. Designed for adolescents, the event at the Municipal Polideportivo will include informative stands, interactive games, and live music. The festival aims to provide tools for self-care and address topics such as integral sexual health, substance abuse prevention, and healthy relationships.
