Ahead of EuroPride 2025 (June 14–22) in Lisbon, Portugal, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe), and Portugal’s Direção-Geral da Saúde (DGS) have together issued health advice for people attending the events.

The event is expected to draw around 200 000 people, with more than 60% travelling from abroad.

The advice aims to help people enjoy the festivities safely and raises awareness of the recommendations on a range of health topics: vaccination, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory illnesses, food and water safety, as well as raising awareness of mosquito- and tick-borne diseases.

As Europe’s largest LGBTQI+ celebration, EuroPride 2025 offers a unique opportunity to combine cultural celebration with health promotion and community well-being.

Tick-borne diseases

Ticks themselves do not cause disease but if a tick is infected with a virus or bacterium, then that pathogen can be transmitted through the tick’s bite and cause disease in humans.

Sexually transmitted infections

Sexually transmitted infections is a group of infections that may transmit through vaginal, oral and anal sexual intercourse.

Food- and waterborne diseases and zoonoses

In principle, everyone may be at risk for contracting foodborne, waterborne or zoonotic disease although some people are more at risk than others depending on pathogen-host interactions.
