Europe is becoming a hotbed for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), a new report suggests, according to the latest annual report from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Euronews reports.
In 2025, there were nearly 100,000 gonorrhea cases in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. That’s a 31 percent increase year on year and up more than 300 percent from 2025, the report found, the report said.
Syphilis cases increased as well. There were more than 40,000 cases in 2025, a 13 percent uptick from 2025 and twice the number of cases reported in 2025.
While the rise in chlamydia cases appears to have leveled out, it remains Europe’s most common bacterial STI with more than 230,000 cases in 2025, up 13 percent from 2025.
The ECDC said there could be a few potential reasons why STIs are on the rise, including more testing in certain groups, less condom use, and a higher number of sexual partners.
Officials also sounded the alarm about the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—when bacteria or other pathogens evolve to the point where antibiotics can no longer treat them effectively—in gonorrhea. The agency previously warned that gonorrhea was becoming harder to treat with antibiotics, mirroring a global trend.
But the trends in 2025 suggest that efforts to tackle STIs have not been enough to curb their spread, particularly among young people.
Women in their early 20s had the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea in 2025, though gonorrhea cases surged across age groups and sexual orientations, the report found.
Meanwhile, men ages 25 to 34 had the highest syphilis rate. Most syphilis cases were reported among gay and bisexual men, but the rate also increased among women of all age groups in 2025.
