	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>While Public Health England (PHE) produces United Kingdom data tables for chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis (primary, secondary and early latent), data for each of the constituent regions is held by respective devolved administrations. The data for England for these infections are presented in tables 1-4 for the most recent five complete calendar years (2010-2014).</p><br /><p>Data on new HIV diagnoses for the constituent regions of the UK are held by PHE and Tables 5-8 present data for the years 2010-2014 by constituent region, age group and year of diagnosis.</p><br /><p>The data provided relates to the number of diagnoses rather than incidence of infection, and as such an increase in the number of diagnoses could be attributable to increased testing rates rather than an increase in infections. For example, local authorities are encouraged to offer universal access to testing and treatment for chlamydia for young people age 15-24 as part of the National Chlamydia Screening Programme. Increases in chlamdyia screening provision will result in increasing infections detected.</p><p><br></p><p>Table 1: Anogenital herpes (first episode) diagnoses numbers in England by age group, 2010-14</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Age group</p></td><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>46</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>53</p></td><td><p>46</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>15-19</p></td><td><p>4,155</p></td><td><p>4,295</p></td><td><p>4,258</p></td><td><p>4,032</p></td><td><p>4,096</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>20-24</p></td><td><p>8,204</p></td><td><p>8,881</p></td><td><p>9,130</p></td><td><p>9,136</p></td><td><p>8,863</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>25-34</p></td><td><p>9,579</p></td><td><p>9,996</p></td><td><p>10,439</p></td><td><p>10,687</p></td><td><p>10,685</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>35-44</p></td><td><p>4,460</p></td><td><p>4,495</p></td><td><p>4,402</p></td><td><p>4,506</p></td><td><p>4,187</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>45-64</p></td><td><p>3,060</p></td><td><p>3,222</p></td><td><p>3,295</p></td><td><p>3,655</p></td><td><p>3,556</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>65+</p></td><td><p>188</p></td><td><p>197</p></td><td><p>271</p></td><td><p>266</p></td><td><p>307</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>37</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>29,698</p></td><td><p>31,154</p></td><td><p>31,864</p></td><td><p>32,349</p></td><td><p>31,777[1]</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>[1] The Genitourinary Medicine Clinic Activity Dataset v2 (GUMCADv2) collects information on all STI diagnoses and services provided by GUM services in England.
