Why Christmas is a hotbed for STIs

It’s the season of joy, celebration, and a sharp rise in sexually transmitted infections across Ireland! Public health officials are urging partygoers to prioritise their sexual well-being this festive season, as cases of STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and even antibiotic-resistant strains of gonorrhoea continue to climb… Last year alone, chlamydia cases soared by 26%, with over 13,000 cases reported. Joining Seán to discuss is Dr Aisling Loy, Consultant in Sexual Health at St James's Hospital & Himerus Health Clinic.
