The UKHSA are encouraging anyone with new or multiple sexual partners to get tested at least once a year, and anyone with symptoms to seek medical advice immediately.
The agency also recommends the use of condoms, and if you’re having sex with a new partner, getting tested for STIs before having unprotected sex, or using condoms and getting tested together.
Gonorrhoea is one of the most preventable and curable STIs, and regular testing for those at risk of infection is key to avoiding the spread of the infection, and potentially antibiotic-resistant strains.

The UK Health Security Agency is strongly recommending that anyone engaging in sexual activity with new or multiple partners should get tested for STIs.
Additionally, it is advised for people to practice safe sex, use condoms, and get regular check-ups as even with no symptoms, gonorrhoea can still be present in the body and passed on.
Early diagnosis and treatment are important to stop the spread of the infection and reduce the risk of further health problems.
