Sexual health: Number of people catching STIs in every area of Yorkshire revealed as ‘super gonorrhoea’ spreads

Health chiefs are warning people to take extra precautions after a spate of cases of ‘super gonorrhoea’.

There have been four cases of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a version of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is resistant to antibiotics, identified across England.

The UK Health Security Agency this month revealed that a woman in her 20s in London and a heterosexual couple in their 20s based in the Midlands were the latest to be diagnosed.

The first identified case was a heterosexual man in his early 20s, who caught the infection in London in November.

While only a handful of cases of antibiotic-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been identified, cases of other STIs are also on the rise, health bosses have warned.
