Tobago House of Assembly Senior Programme Coordinator in the Division of Health, Wellness and Social Protection, Onika Henry, is advocating for the introduction of comprehensive sex education in schools as a key strategy to address rising public health concerns.

Gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV are among the sexually transmitted infections that health authorities have indicated are being reported in Tobago.

Ms Henry confirmed the increase in numbers but indicated that analysis of the data is still underway.
