Event Description


<p>In the ACT, chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis are on the rise.  From 2015-2018, chlamydia notifications increased each year, gonorrhoea notifications more than doubled and syphilis notifications more than tripled.  These trends appear to be continuing in 2019, based on notification data received by ACT Health for the first half of 2019.
GPs play a critical role in the detection and management of STIs in the ACT.
