- Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are common infections in New Zealand, and certain groups, like younger people and Māori and Pacific peoples, get them more often.

- The study found that younger people, those living in specific regions, and certain ethnic groups are at higher risk, and suggested that these groups need better healthcare services to help prevent reinfection.
