Conclusions
• Chlamydia is the most commonly notified STI:
46% of total
• Young adults aged 20-29 years account for
59% of notifications
• Significant increases in gonorrhoea, syphilis
• HIV transmission persists
• The majority of new diagnoses are late
presenters
The Health Protection Surveillance Centre wishes to sincerely thank all
who have provided data for this report – the National Virus Reference
Laboratory, microbiology laboratories, the Departments of Public Health,
Consultants in Infectious Disease/GUM and all other clinicians involved.

KEY Action
1 Patient attends clinician/GP for HIV test
is sent to local laboratory for analysis, and if
2 (a) Specimen
positive a second specimen is requested

(b)
In some instances, the clinician/GP may send specimens
directly to the NVRL. In such instances, the NVRL is both
the “local laboratory” and the “reference laboratory”
The local laboratory sends a second specimen to the NVRL for confirmation of HIV diagnosis. If the NVRL is the “local laboratory”,
the need for a second sample will be communicated directly to the requesting clinician
From January 1st 2012, when a HIV diagnosis is confirmed core notification data are collected through CIDR
and supplementary clinical data specific to HIV are collected using a paper surveillance form
CIDR (electronic)
NVRL send result confirming HIV diagnosis to local
laboratory via CIDR
Clinical Laboratory Director notifies Public Health via CIDR
Surveillance Form (paper)
(b)
The NVRL send a surveillance form to the clinician for
completion
The completed form is returned to the Director of Public
Health

At the Department of Public Health, notification data and supplementary clinical data are linked and anonymised using CIDR. The
data are then available to the HPSC for analysis and use in national reports.

Surveillance of STIs: 2005
•
•
Priority should be given to collecting
timely disaggregate, person-based data
on the major bacterial infections;
syphilis, gonorrhoea, genital chlamydia
and infectious hepatitis B
The notifying clinician should indicate;
–
–
–
•
•
Whether partner notification (PN) has been
carried out within the STI clinic or general
practice, Family Planning Clinic or Student
Health Service
Whether the patient is attending or been
referred to an STI clinic
If not attending or referred, the notifying
clinician should indicate if PN has been
discussed
