Sexual health and wellness initiatives in Italy

Overview

In late September 2026, Fondazione Foresta ETS organized free, anonymous rapid testing for HIV and syphilis in Piazza Portello, Padova. The event, held in collaboration with Padova Sex Lab, targeted university students to coincide with the start of the academic year and the conclusion of World Sexual and Reproductive Health Month.

By mid-October 2026, health initiatives expanded across Italy through ‘Sexual Wellness Week’. In cities including Treviso, Bari, and Taverna, free psychosexual counseling for individuals and couples was offered in collaboration with the Federazione Italiana di Sessuologia Scientifica (FISS). These sessions focused on promoting dialogue, prevention, and affective education.
