	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>Increases in rates of syphilis and gonorrhoea are likely to be due to a number of factors. These include increases in both the number of people attending sexual health services and the number of tests for sexually transmitted infections. Public Health England has advised that other factors include, better detection of infections and behavioural changes such as an increase in partner numbers and condomless anal intercourse, as well as, for some men who have sex with men, ‘chemsex’ and group sex facilitated by geosocial networking applications.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 17/06/2019 15:30:37 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
