Possible effects variations reporting bias, seasonality, resistance against antibiotics, and sexual behaviour on rates considered. In 1981 incidence started decrease, thus preceding onset AIDS epidemic Since 1983 decline further accelerated has been most apparent among homo- bisexual men, presumably as a result behavioural changes because AIDS. There is less evidence massive (AIDS related) heterosexuals. increasing percentage patients recurrent episodes STDs may suggest that highly sexually active individuals continue put themselves at risk persist acquiring transmitting gonorrhoea.
