STIs have increased significantly among young people and adolescents. For this reason, we work to improve access to sexual health care through safe, confidential spaces tailored to their needs. We also promote awareness-raising and prevention initiatives that help improve knowledge about STIs and encourage healthy sexual practices.

The rise of treatment-resistant infections is one of the main challenges in the field of STIs. We work to better understand the factors involved in the emergence and transmission of antimicrobial resistance, particularly in infections such as gonorrhoea.

We work to incorporate a gender perspective into clinical care and all research activities within the unit. Our goal is to advance towards a healthcare model that considers the specific needs of women at different stages of life and examines the impact of biological, social, and gender-related factors on health. This perspective is integrated across all areas of care and research.

We promote initiatives aimed at improving prevention, early detection, and follow-up of HPV-related lesions, particularly among immunocompromised individuals. This area combines clinical care and research to generate evidence that helps improve screening programmes and preventive strategies.
