A s the country locked down for covid-19, Britons had fewer chances for casual unprotected sex. They also had fewer tests for sexually transmitted infections ( STI s). Not surprisingly, diagnoses plummeted. Not any more. On June 6th the UK Health Security Agency reported that nearly 83,000 cases of gonorrhoea were diagnosed in England in 2022—the most since records began in 1918. Cases of syphilis were at their highest since 1948. London’s rate is more than twice that of any other region, making STI s a particularly metropolitan problem (see chart).
该国被锁定在19 covid-19，英国人对休闲无保护的性行为的机会较少。他们的性传播感染（STI）的测试也较少。毫不奇怪，诊断暴跌。不再。6月6日，英国卫生安全局报告说，近83,000例淋病案件于2022年被诊断出在英格兰，这是自1918年开始的记录以来最高的。梅毒案件自1948年以来处于最高状态。伦敦的费率是其他任何地区的两倍以上，这使得STI是一个特别的Metropolitan问题（请参阅图表）。
