Prevalence of STI testing positivity (excluding Chlamydia in under 25 year olds) (8170) Metric type
- Help text
- This is all new STI diagnoses (excluding chlamydia in under 25-year olds) among people accessing sexual health services (SHS) in England, expressed as a percentage of people who have had one or more tests for any of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis or HIV infections among the population aged 15 to 64 years. These are the standard STI tests recommended for individuals attending for a new episode of STI related care if indicated by the sexual history. Data exclude people accessing SHS services located in England who are resident in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or abroad. It excluding diagnoses of chlamydia in the age group targeted by the National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP). The figure provides an overall summary of STI diagnoses which is less affected by local variation in the chlamydia screening programme.
This has changed in 2021 publication from the total number of tests recommended for routine STI screening in SHS to total number of people tested for one or more infections for syphilis, HIV, gonorrhoea and chlamydia at a new attendance. Chlamydia tests are only included for people aged 25 to 64 years and from GUMCAD STI surveillance system. Each episode is counted once regardless of the number of tests that were provided. An individual may appear more than once in the denominator if they attend for more than one episode of infection during the year.
An individual may have had between 1 and 4 tests within one attendance. However, the test figures refer only to total number of attendances rather than number of tests.
Numbers between 1 and 4 with a population less than 10,000 are suppressed. Where counts for Isles of Scilly are between 1 and 4, these are combined with Cornwall.
