New Zealand has some of the highest rates of chlamyidal infection amongst our young people in the developed world. We
have an epidemic of gonorrhoea. What can we do to change this around? Why should we be testing for HIV and other STIs in
pregnancy?
The conference organisers and speakers will be available for interviews and articles that will be of immense public
interest.
