Genital Herpes Is Increasing In England As Other Stis Fall

Health data in England shows that genital herpes is rising, even though the overall number of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been going down. Experts say this change is important because herpes can spread through sex and may not always cause obvious symptoms. Doctors also note that STIs are still most common among young people. They say regular testing is key, because testing helps people find infections early and get treatment, which can also reduce spread to others.
