What is Gonorrhea, and how common is it?

Gonorrhea, also known as “the clap,” is a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In 2020, general practitioners diagnosed gonorrhea in 14,400 individuals, and 6,722 gonorrhea infections were reported via Sexual Health Centers. The majority (approximately 80%) of these cases were among men who have sex with men (MSM). The detection rate for heterosexual men and women is around 2%, while for MSM, it is around 11%. Between 2016 and 2021, there was a slight increase in the detection rate of gonorrhea.
