Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including syphilis and gonorrhoea, are reaching record levels across Europe, according to new data published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on Thursday.
“Sexually transmitted infections have been on the rise for 10 years and reached record high levels in 2024,” said Bruno Ciancio, Head of Unit, Directly Transmitted and Vaccine-Preventable Diseases at the ECDC.
