Gonorrhoea down as herpes rises | Herald de Paris

"Statistics from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) showed the number of new gonorrhoea infections was the lowest in nearly a decade.

Overall sexually transmitted infections was up last year by 0.5%, mostly due to the increase in herpes and warts.

Those aged between 16 to 24 are still disproportionately affected by STIs.

While just 12% of the UK population falls into this age group, they account for more than half of all new STIs diagnosed in the UK."
