NAPLES, March 22, 2026 Antinoo Arcigay Napoli expresses serious concern about the recent increase in hepatitis A cases recorded in Campania, with a particularly alarming incidence in the Naples metropolitan area. The increase in infections, which has intensified especially in recent weeks, has required an immediate strengthening of health surveillance activities in the area.
In this delicate context, the association believes it is essential to draw attention to the vital importance of vaccination against hepatitis A. The appeal is addressed in particular to the population MSM (Men who have sex with men – men who have sex with men), historically more exposed to epidemic outbreaks of this specific virus.
Hepatitis A is a viral infection transmitted primarily through the fecal-oral route, but is also very frequently transmitted through sexual contact. Epidemics observed in recent years, both in Europe and Italy, have amply demonstrated how transmission within the MSM community can reach significant levels. This makes vaccination prevention not only a conscious individual choice, but an essential tool for protecting public health.
Antinoo Arcigay Napoli reminds citizens that, based on regional provisions and planned vaccination programs, In Campania, vaccination against hepatitis A is recommended and guaranteed for those at risk, including the MSM population.
The association is available to support anyone in need of guidance. To receive more information, clarify doubts, or find out how to locate the nearest vaccination centers, you can contact the dedicated help desk by emailing: [email protected].
Protecting yourself means protecting the entire community.
