Abstract
The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is increasing in Europe. The reasons for this are multifactorial but ease of travel is one of them. This is worrying in view of the established role of STIs in facilitating HIV transmission. Care of this group of infections is provided by a variety of doctors, often not following agreed guidelines. It is vital that doctors and their specialist societies engage in setting standards, in ensuring that STIs and HIV infection are moved up the healthcare agendas of all European countries and in making sure that access to care is rapid. Surveillance should be enhanced, interventions evaluated and the media engaged.
