Contact-tracing in gonorrhoea.

The recent increase in the numbers of reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases has aroused public concern and prompted discussion on radio, television, and in the press. Particular interest has been shown in methods for the prevention of spread of such diseases, and in the tracing of the sexual contacts of known cases of infection. In March, 1969, a Private Members' Bill to provide for the compulsory examination of individuals thought likely to be infected was debated in Parliament and withdrawn only after assurances from the Government that a review would be made at a later date. The aim of this communication is to report the results of contact-tracing by the non-compulsory methods at present in use.
