Annotation:

This report summarizes trends in the three nationally notifiable bacterial STIs (genital chlamydia, gonorrhea and infectious syphilis) using data reported to the Public Health Agency of Canada by the provinces and territories. To provide a more complete picture of the burden of STIs in Canada, viral STI rates and the results of enhanced surveillance initiatives are included in the report. Finally, Canadian STI rates are given some context through a comparison with the rates of similar countries.
