Solution

All of the above factors contribute to the rising STI rate in New Zealand.

  1. Increasing number of people being screened: More people getting screened means more cases are being detected.

  2. Increased testing and reporting: With more testing and reporting, more STIs are being identified and recorded, contributing to the rise in reported cases.

  3. Declining condom use during sexual activity: Condoms are a key method of preventing the spread of STIs. If fewer people are using them, it's likely that the rate of STIs will increase.

  4. Improved sensitivity of diagnostic tests: As diagnostic tests improve, they are able to detect more cases of STIs, including those that may have been missed by older, less sensitive tests. This can also contribute to an increase in reported cases.
