Number of gonorrhoea and syphilis infections in Europe is rising sharply

According to the NOS, the number of gonorrhoea and syphilis infections in Europe has increased significantly in recent years. Health organisations are seeing a rise across multiple countries, including the Netherlands. Experts mention factors such as reduced condom use, changing sexual behaviour and a lack of reliable information about STIs.

Health professionals also warn that some infections are becoming more difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance, especially in the case of gonorrhoea. Early testing and treatment remain important to help prevent further spread.
