## Resource

Across Europe, a surge in gonorrhoea and syphilis cases since the pandemic has officials concerned. Factors like increased use of dating apps and post-pandemic social activity may be contributing. Men who have sex with men and women of childbearing age are particularly affected. Ireland, however, is seeing a decrease in bacterial STIs due to accessible home-testing services. The global goal of ending STI epidemics by 2030 remains challenging. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
