Result of "SEX ED" ( and socialized medicine ) in the UK:

Explosion of sex infections overwhelms health service
By Jeremy Laurance Health Editor

10 March 2003

Soaring rates of sexually transmitted infections are overwhelming the NHS and threatening the health of a generation of young people, according to a committee of MPs.

An inquiry into the NHS sexual health service by the Commons Health Select Committee has concluded that it is in crisis, with a shortage of resources, facilities and staff. Waiting lists are growing and delays in treatment are putting partners of infected people at increased risk, it found.

Pressure on the sexual health services has intensified in the last decade, fuelled by changing sexual behaviour. Cases of gonorrhoea have risen 86 per cent in five years, and those of chlamydia have doubled. Syphilis is making a return and the rate of HIV infection rose to its highest level last year.
