The number of gonorrhea diagnoses among the CSGs has increased by 11 percent in the past year to 8,186 infections. The estimated number of GP infections increased from 9,550 in 2017 to 11,300 in 2018.

In 2019, the number of syphilis diagnoses among the CSGs increased by 16.8 percent compared to 2018 (1,430 against 1,224).
