Diagnoses of badually transmitted infections tripled in four years between 2012 and 2016. This is the disturbing conclusion of a study that has just been published by the Public Health Agency France. According to the authorities, young people between the ages of 15 and 24 would be the population most affected by this alarming recrudescence, the consequences of which can be dramatic.
The tests are more reliable. What emerges from this study is that if we take the Gonococcus and Chlamidia infections, in 2016 there were, in all, nearly 320,000 people diagnosed in France. A balance sheet that has tripled in four years, for several reasons. First, today, we can better detect this type of disease, and then the tests themselves are also more sensitive, more reliable.
"It's really important to be detected and treated" . Finally, unfortunately, there are simply more cases, especially among young people, 15-24 years old. The problem is that these infections are certainly very contagious, but sometimes without visible symptoms. Florence Lot, Public Health France, takes the example of Chlamydia infection whose consequences can be very serious: "the problem is that if they hang out and are not diagnosed, they can eventually give complications such as chronic pain, infertility, transmission from mother to child, it is really important to be screened and treated. "
So to counter this outbreak of badually transmitted infections, experts insist : the most effective way is the condom. The condom that is unfortunately still not systematic: one of the latest surveys on the subject shows that 48% of students and 20% of high school students do not use every bad.
