At a conference held in the Senate Committee on this matter, Mónica García confirmed that there is no "better public health policy than prevention."

The idea, still to be developed, is to include young people aged 14 or 16 to 22. Monica García stated that “during this period, most of them are studying and still have no work or, if they do, have small incomes.” However, according to El Diario, the extension of the list beyond that limit will depend on the available budget and other issues being analysed.

According to the latest report on the Epidemiological Surveillance of Sexually Transmitted Infections of 2022, produced by the Epidemiological Surveillance Network, published at the end of January, since there are records, the Spanish State recorded in 2022 the highest rate of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia. García points out that the data is worrisome, but in addition to transmission other factors can influence, such as greater control of these infections, which can lead to more diagnoses.

The minister recalls that this is a situation that is being “alerted” in Europe. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has called for a new rebound of cases. "It requires urgent attention and agreed efforts," said director El Diarion Andrea Ammon, who placed them as "the center of testing, treatment and prevention in any long-term strategy." "We have to prioritize sexual health education, we have to open up access to tests and treatments and combat the stigma associated with STIs," he said.
