Increase in Sexually Transmitted Infections among Men Who Have Sex with Men, England, 2014

Abstract

Surveillance data from sexual health clinics indicate recent increases in sexually transmitted infections, particularly among men who have sex with men. The largest annual increase in syphilis diagnoses in a decade was reported in 2014. Less condom use may be the primary reason for these increases.
