Since 2009, high-quality STI surveillance data were available by area of residence from the recently introduced Genitourinary Medicine Clinic Activity Dataset (GUMCAD) in England. The data are from a patient-level dataset (anonymised) which have been included in this year's STI data tables. The data have also been used to back-adjust the preceding eight years of STI data which were from the previous aggregated KC60 dataset.

STI diagnoses from 2008 to 2010 from both GUM and community-based settings are presented in Table 1. Data tables for England GUM clinics are presented in Tables 2-5.  Data on chlamydia diagnoses from GUM and community-based settings are presented in Table 6.

Data from GUMCAD are presented in Tables 7-11 on chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, genital warts, herpes diagnoses and HIV testing uptake  in England.  Data presented by patient's  area of residence in Table 7 also include data from the National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) and non-NCSP, non-GUM data. Tables 8-10 present data from GUM clinics at the patient's Strategic Health Authority of residence. Table 11 present HIV testing uptake at English GUM clinics by patient residence.
