One million new STIs every day, says WHO

One million new STIs every day, says WHO One million new sexually transmitted infections (STIs) occur every single day, the World Health Organization has estimated. That means more than 376 million new cases annually of four infections - chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis.

The WHO highlights a lack of progress in stopping the spread of STIs, and says its figures are a "wake-up call". Experts are particularly concerned about the rise in drug-resistant STIs. BBC News - Health
