reduce the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including gonorrhoea
and syphilis, PHE launched the ‘Protect Against STIs’ health promotion campaign in
2017/18 to promote condom use and positive sexual relationships among 16 to 24-year
olds. This campaign can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/protect-against-stis-use-a-condom/home"

HIV Prevention England has been contracted to deliver a HIV prevention programme aimed
at gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men; black Africans; and other groups
in whom there is a higher or emerging burden of infection. This programme promotes,
among other behaviours, condom use and awareness of STIs including gonorrhoea and
syphilis. More information on this programme can be found at the following link:</p><p><a
