STI Clinic Surveillance: Quarterly Report
Thursday 21st November 2019
 |
In New Zealand, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are not notifiable. Therefore surveillance efforts are based on voluntary provision of data from laboratories and clinics. These reports present data on chlamydia, gonorrhoea, genital herpes, genital warts, syphilis and non-specific urethritis (males only), chancroid, granuloma inguinale, and lymphogranuloma venereum cases reported for the quarter from sexual health and family planning clinics across New Zealand.
From 2012 the format of the STI clinic surveillance quarterly report changed to an online table format to improve access to DHB level data. In addition, reports from 2012 only present count data. Clinic visit infection rates were presented in reports prior to 2012. Clinic visit rates uses the total number of clinic visits for any reason as the denominator, which include all new and follow-up visits made by clinic attendees, whether for sexual or other health reasons.
From 2019 quarterly syphilis and gonorrhoea reporting is in a dashboard format (see link below) and all other clinic data will be reported annually.

Cautionary note:
The number of cases of STIs reported through the clinic-based surveillance system underestimates the true burden of disease in New Zealand because a substantial percentage of STIs are diagnosed by other health care providers, particularly primary health care practitioners.
