    New Zealand's first anonymised sexual health contact tracing service is running in the capital


    It's hoped trials of a new STI tracking service will reduce rates of the infections.

    The SXT Health services platform will allow Wellington Sexual Health to anonymously inform sexual partners of STI risks over email or text.

    Tu Ora Compass Health clinical manager Bronwyn Warren says it's already performed well in the UK.
