Sexual health services are helping more people than ever before - particularly over 65s - but at the same time, budgets for public health spending have been 'slashed'.
The LGA said the rise in need comes after the public health grant to local authorities used to fund sexual health services reduced by more than £1bn between 2015/16 and 2020/21.
David Fothergill, chairman of the LGA's Community Wellbeing Board, said the"perfect storm" of increased demand for services alongside continued cuts to funding was"unsustainable" and"risked a reversal in the encouraging fall in some STIs and potential increases in unwanted pregnancies".
"Cuts to spending on sexual health, as with other areas of public health expenditure, are a false economy," he said.
