Chapter 6 in Moving from the Millennium to the Sustainable Development Goals, 2020, pp 95-118 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors go beyond the conventional examination of the millennium and sustainable development goals in the context of developing countries, and provide unique insights in the case of the United Kingdom. They argue that the achievement of targets set out in the sustainable development goals should not be relegated to developing countries only. The authors thus examine how the high prevalence of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) in the United Kingdom could be explained by the potential roles played by sexual orientation and sexual behaviour. They find evidence that both sexual orientation and sexual behaviour increase the odds of having an STI, including HIV risk.
