STIs soaring in gay men - warning

The number of sexually transmitted infections being spread in gay men is soaring, according to Public Health England.
Figures for 2014 showed a 46% increase in syphilis infections, 32% in gonorrhoea and 26% in chlamydia.

The report said there were "high levels of condomless sex" in general and "rapid" transmission of infections in HIV-positive men.
Public Health England recommends regular STI testing.

Across all groups in England, the number of sexually transmitted infections fell by 0.3% from the previous year, to 439,243 new cases.
Chlamydia was the most common STI, accounting for nearly half of all diagnoses.
But there is a very different picture in men who have sex with men:

Syphilis infections increased from 2,375 to 3,477

Gonorrhoea increased from 13,629 to 18,029

Chlamydia diagnoses increased from 9,118 to 11,468

Genital warts increased by 10% from 3,156 to 3,456

Indeed. Not that they knew about STIs then, but the Old Testament was written by Yahweh's prophets, so it is not really surprising that it was correct about male homosexuality. God is all knowing. Can't argue with that.

Typical. Just typical! Only people who have actually read the Bible and those who pretend they have read it, could say that!

High immigration levels bring all sorts of diseases back up to high levels.

It's not just sexually transmitted diseases.

Indeed. Hatred of other ethnicities and racism are the two most virulent diseases on that list.

All about disease spread prevention. Compartmentalism.

Here in Australia we are way ahead of you. Asylum seekers are relabelled as "illegals" and simply towed back out to sea to drown or to return to what war, genocide, honour killings or whatever other little life's inconveniences they were stupid enough to be born in. For those few thousand who have managed to slip through we have constructed concentration camps where they can rot away from public view. Lately, those camps have been outsourced and relocated to tropical paradises like Nauru and Burma, and at a cost of a billion dollars a year it would be cheap at twice the price. The cost is well worth it to keep this nation squeaky clean and sparkling white.

Festung Australia is a raging success. We have certainly learnt not to repeat the mistakes of previous inhabitants of this lucky country.

Europeans were the disease carriers in the past, carrying all sorts of nasty stuff to the new world.
Nowadays, people from the third world bring diseases back to the UK that were almost eradicated. Syphilis is one of those. TB is another.
They are also bringing strains of infections that are resistant to antibiotics.
That's because in a lot of third world countries, people can get antibiotics without prescription, and often don't complete the course, which is how resistant strains evolve.

One problem is that anal sex is by far the easiest way to catch any STI. Unprotected anal sex is a risky process for anyone.
