Three new Aids cases appeared in Jersey early this year

The annual report from the Aids and HIV charity ACET is released on Tuesday.

The charity is warning of a crisis in sexual health problems in Jersey.

It claims the results of a recent UK government report are reflected in Jersey.

'Understaffed' clinic

There has been an increase in a range of sexually-transmitted diseases in the island.

Rosemary Ruddy, the executive director of ACET, said Jersey politicians need to wake up to reality and invest in a sexual health strategy.

She said while there is a group of civil servants looking at the issues there is no budget to make improvements.

Mrs Ruddy said there were no proper facilities at the General Hospital to help people with HIV or other sexual diseases.

She said there was just a "small, understaffed" clinic with limited opening times and no private area to discuss patients' concerns.

She said: "This is why we're asking that politicians push this up the political agenda and provide the resources needed to put in some good preventative sexual health education and to invest in the services that we have here.

"It's extremely important that people come forward and have sexual ill health treated."

The Health and Social Services committee said: "We aim to meet the health and social care needs of the people of Jersey, through promoting the health and social well-being of individuals, families and the community, and providing prompt, high quality services based on assessed need and agreed entitlement."
