STIs in the UK — context behind the numbers
UKHSA surveillance and NHS sexual health services report sustained pressure from chlamydia and gonorrhoea alongside better testing uptake; tens of thousands live with HIV on effective therapy; HPV vaccination and cervical screening programmes reflect how common viral STIs truly are compared with public stigma. MeetPositives is built for lived experience — not headlines.
