Some 630 deaths in Australia in 2013 were due to hepatitis C-related medical conditions, according to data from the University of New South Wales. Meanwhile, the number of Australians diagnosed with syphilis has risen by 34 per cent since 2009, to a record 1,760 in 2013. Dr David Wilson of the Kirby Institute notes that cases of syphilis were rare in Australia in the 1990s
