Dr Trevor Stammers writes:
“In the past few years, I have seen a huge increase in cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the part of London where I practice as a doctor. The genito-urinary medicine clinics are under pressure coping with the increasing workload and the Medical Society for the Study of Venereal Diseases is promoting training courses to help GPs deal more effectively with the sheer numbers of patients. Why is sexual health declining so rapidly, despite well funded government initiatives supposedly to improve it?”
