Sexually transmitted infections in the United States (October 2019)
According to annual surveillance through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the incidence of the major sexually transmitted infections, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, all increased dramatically from 2014 to 2018. In particular, the incidence of syphilis increased by 70 percent over this time frame, with over 35,000 cases of primary and secondary syphilis reported in 2018. Men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for the majority of all reported cases, and of them, almost half were known to have HIV infection. Syphilis rates also increased among women, and the rate of congenital syphilis (1300 cases in 2018) has increased every year since 2012. These findings highlight the importance of sexually transmitted infection screening and treatment, especially in MSM and pregnant women.
