News Briefs Scotland: Middle-age Sex "Unsafe"November 30, 2001 More middle-aged Scots are catching STDs, health experts said last week. Scottish National Health Service figures revealed the number of men and women over 35 who get STDs has risen by almost 30 percent in the last five years. Last year alone, a 10 percent rise brought the number to more than 4,000. The alarming rise is blamed on more marriage break-ups, leading to more middle-aged people having casual sex. Dr. Rak Nanwani of Sandyford sexual health clinic in Glasgow, said, "The safe sex message has been lost over the last five years. People are definitely having more unsafe sex."
