Statistics from genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics provide the most comprehensive source of data on the epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in England. Between 1996 and 1997, the total number of diagnoses made in GUM clinics rose by 7% and total diagnoses of acute STIs by 9%. Diagnoses of genital Chlamydia trachomatis, genital warts and gonorrhoea rose by 20%, 8%, and 5%, respectively. Cases of infectious syphilis rose by 26%, most of which was attributable to an outbreak in Bristol. These rises followed substantial rises in acute STIs between 1995 and 1996, and were most pronounced among teenagers and homosexual and bisexual men. The continued growth in numbers of acute STIs is occurring despite the targeting of known risk groups in sexual health education and intervention programmes, and suggests that renewed efforts to improve sexual health are needed.
泌尿生殖医学（GUM）诊所的数据是英格兰性传播感染（STI）流行病学最全面的资料来源。1996年至1997年间，GUM诊所的诊断总数上升了7%，急性性传播感染的诊断总数上升了9%。生殖沙眼衣原体、尖锐湿疣和淋病的诊断分别上升了20%、8%和5%。传染性梅毒病例增加了26%，其中大部分归因于布里斯托尔的一次疫情。这些增长是在1995年至1996年间急性性传播感染大幅上升之后出现的，在青少年以及同性恋和双性恋男性中最为明显。尽管在性健康教育和干预计划中针对了已知的风险群体，但急性性传播感染的数量仍在持续增长，这表明需要重新努力改善性健康。
