Sexually transmitted infections have doubled in under a decade in people over 45.
Men were most likely to be affected, with increases.
Tragically, the sexual health of men and women of this age group is largely neglected.
The number of sexually transmitted infections is rising in both young and old, despite sexual health campaigns urging people to avoid unsafe sex.
The proportion of over-45s rose during the sample period.
In total, 4,445 infections were detected in older people, with genital warts accounting for almost half of these diagnoses.
Herpes was the next most common, with one in five diagnoses.
