Today, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) launches a nationwide study into chlamydia and gonorrhoea.

In 2021, more than 138,000 people were tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at a centre for sexual health.

The number of people who got themselves tested for a sexually transmitted infection (STI) at a Sexual Health Centre (SHC)  in 2019  has remained almost the same as in 2018.

The number of people who have been tested for a sexually transmitted infection (STI) went up in 2017. This is the case both at the Sexual Health Centres and at the General Practitioner.

An increasing number of clients tested at a Dutch STI clinic for a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is diagnosed with gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydia.

The number of clients tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at Dutch STI clinics has increased since 2004.

In 2014, 53% of people between the ages of 12 and 80 in the Netherlands participate in some type of sport weekly.

Routine screening for anorectal chlamydia among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) could avert further spread of chlamydia and HIV in the total MSM population.

Until 2003, Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), an aggressive form of chlamydia, was considered to be a rare tropical disease, endemic to Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
