Project Description

Sanremo Stop HIV-HCV City 2024

The Covid pandemic has temporarily monopolized the attention of the public, the National Health Authorities and the World Health Organization.

In the meantime, the preparation work of the city of Sanremo to face the new challenge to which it committed itself in February 2020 has continued and produced the STOP HIV – HCV City Project which embraces both the great objectives of fighting HIV and «HCV.

The Infectious Diseases Division of the Sanremo Hospital, in collaboration with the Municipality of Sanremo, has organized a program to intensify screening activities, not only for HIV but also for HCV and has activated campaigns to combat stigma on people with HIV infection.

This activity constitutes the starting point of the STOP HIV – HCV City Project.

Goals:

  1. Training of general practitioners and outpatient specialists
  2. Activities in schools to raise awareness and fight stigma
  3. Diagnose as many HIV and HCV infections as possible
