SUMMARY
The annual update of statistical information on sexually transmitted infections (STI) presents data from Genito-urinary Medicine clinics in Scotland. The publication of these data tables is timed to coincide with a similar publication by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in London, on sexually transmitted infections diagnosed at Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) clinics covering the whole of the UK available at: http://www.hpa.org.uk 
The data published today will be used by ISD and Health Protection Scotland (HPS) to produce the Annual Report on Sexual Health in Scotland in November 2007. This will include interpretation and comment on these data. A UK wide publication, to which all countries within the UK contribute, will also be published in November by HPA.
