Masked data: where "< 5" appears in the profile data tables, the original data have been substituted for reasons of confidentiality.

Profile name:  Rate of diagnoses of gonorrhoea and syphilis infections in GUM

This information is taken from the GUMCAD dataset, which is based on all attendances made at genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics.

Gonorrhoea is a marker of unsafe sexual activity because it is easily treated and cured.  Gonococcal infections are also more likely to be more symptomatic than chlamydial infection.  ›› PCT map  ›› LA map

Syphilis is an important public health issue in men who have sex with men and in reproductive age women, among whom it has increased in incidence over the past decade.  ›› PCT map  ›› LA map

Data corrected 04/07/2011: A number of data errors were identified in the patient residence rates released on the 14/06/2011. Patient residence rates are corrected by Country, SHA and PCT. Data by LA of patient residence remain unchanged. Please ensure that any previously downloaded data are replaced with the current version (04/07/2011).

Profile name:  Rate of diagnoses of first episode genital wart in GUM clinics

Genital warts are the second most common STI in the UK and diagnoses have increased steadily over the last decade. Genital warts are generally caused by two types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) both of which are of low risk of causing cervical cancer.  ›› PCT map  ›› LA map

Data corrected 04/07/2011: A number of data errors were identified in the patient residence rates released on the 14/06/2011. Patient residence rates are corrected by Country, SHA and PCT. Data by LA of patient residence remain unchanged. Please ensure that any previously downloaded data are replaced with the current version (04/07/2011).

Profile name:  Proportion of HIV infected individuals diagnosed with a concurrent STI in GUM clinics

Infection with STIs in people living with a diagnosed HIV infection indicates continued high risk sexual behaviour.  Co-infection between HIV and ulcerative STIs, such as infectious syphilis and genital herpes also facilitates HIV transmission to HIV-negative partners.  ›› PCT map

Profile name:  Rate of chlamydia diagnoses per 100,000 among individuals aged 15 to 24

This profile represents a combination of diagnoses made in GUM clinics, positive NCSP test and diagnoses made in all other services outside of GUM. Chlamydia prevalence is included as a national priority for local delivery (tier 2) in 'Vital Signs', and the National Indicator Set.  ›› PCT map  ›› LA map

Data corrected 04/07/2011: A number of data errors were identified in the patient residence rates released on the 14/06/2011. Patient residence rates are corrected by Country, SHA and PCT. Data by LA of patient residence remain unchanged. Please ensure that any previously downloaded data are replaced with the current version (04/07/2011).

Profile name:  Prevalence of diagnosed HIV infection per 1,000 among persons aged 15 to 59 years

This represents the proportion of people who were living with, and aware of their, HIV infection out of the total population during a calendar year.  Data are derived from all NHS HIV treatment sites in England.  Please contact hiv-sti@hpa.org.uk for further details.  ›› LA map

Data corrected 10/05/2012: A number of data errors were identified in the HIV prevalence rates released on the 19/11/2011. HIV prevalence rates are corrected by LA of patient residence. The numbers of diagnosed individuals by LA of residence remain unchanged. Please ensure that any previously downloaded data are replaced with the current version (10/05/2012).
