15-49 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;increased&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;by&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;over&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;one&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt; in 2022, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;reaching&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;eight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW57880805 BCX0&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; million.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Several factors have contributed to this increase. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted prevention, testing, and treatment services, leading to a resurgence of STIs globally&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The rise in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/drug-resistant-super-gonorrhea&quot;&gt;multi-drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea&lt;/a&gt; is also a significant concern. Enhanced surveillance in 2023 revealed that nine out of 87 countries reported high levels of resistance to ceftriaxone, the last resort treatment for gonorrhea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Additionally, there are substantial public health challenges associated with HIV and viral hepatitis. New HIV infections only declined slightly from 1.5 million in 2020 to 1.3 million in 2022, and hepatitis-related deaths increased from 1.1 million in 2019 to 1.3 million in 2022, despite the availability of effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment tools​.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Efforts to combat these infections include improving access to testing and diagnostic services. WHO has introduced new guidance to enhance the accessibility of low-cost, point-of-care tests for STIs, which can facilitate better data collection and service delivery.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Moreover, initiatives to expand STI, HIV, and hepatitis services have shown progress, with several countries being validated for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of these infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Overall, while the global health community is making strides in addressing these infections, the rising incidence of STIs and the challenges posed by antimicrobial resistance underscore the need for sustained and enhanced efforts to achieve global health targets by 2030.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The rising global incidence of STIs, compounded by challenges like antimicrobial resistance and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the urgent need for enhanced public health efforts. While significant progress has been made, including improved access to diagnostic services and the validation of countries for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of certain infections, sustained and coordinated efforts are essential to reverse these trends and achieve global health targets by 2030​.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Addressing the rise in STIs requires a comprehensive approach that includes enhancing surveillance and reporting, promoting safe sex practices, ensuring access to affordable and timely testing and treatment, investing in the development of new treatments and vaccines, and strengthening policies that support sexual health. Only through global collaboration and sustained efforts can we hope to curb the spread of sexually transmitted infections and protect public health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
