A worrying trend has emerged in Ireland, with a 15% surge in HIV and syphilis cases reported last year, highlighting the need for a comprehensive national sexual health strategy. As concerns grow over the rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), health experts are calling for urgent action to address this pressing issue. With the number of new cases on the rise, it's essential to prioritize sexual health education and awareness, particularly among young people, to combat the spread of STIs and promote overall well-being. Key measures include increasing access to STI testing and treatment, as well as implementing targeted prevention programs.
