Description
Giorgia Della Polla and colleagues survey vaccine knowledge and habits among LGBTQIA+ people in Italy in work published in 2026. This group faces higher risk of infections passed through sex, yet facts on what they know and which shots they take were scarce.
An online survey ran from May to July 2025 and drew 1944 people. Only a share of 14.2 percent rightly named HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and Mpox as infections passed through sex, by the figures given in the report. Knowledge ran higher among younger people, degree holders, men who have sex with men, and those told about vaccines by health staff. Only a share of 31.7 percent judged all four vaccines very useful. The gaps point to where clear, targeted outreach could lift coverage.
