The number of infections - 708,083 - was 4 percent higher than in 2002, but Britain's Health Protection Agency said the pace of the increase appears to be slowing. The statistics do not include HIV infections, which are tracked separately. Sexually transmitted diseases have been on the rise across Europe since the mid-1990s.
