Americans Gonn Wild: Gonorrhea and Syphilis Rates Skyrocketed in 2020
The incidence of congenital syphilis in particular has surged in recent years, with more than 2,100 cases in 2020. During pregnancy or delivery, syphilis can pass between mother and child and become a life-threatening infection. In 2020, at least 149 congenital syphilis-related stillbirths and infant deaths were reported. Nearly half of these cases could have been caught with timely prenatal care and screening, the CDC says.
“The covid-19 pandemic increased awareness of a reality we’ve long known about STDs. Social and economic factors—such as poverty and health insurance status—create barriers, increase health risks, and often result in worse health outcomes for some people,” said Leandro Mena, director of STD Prevention at the CDC, in her
of the 2020 data. “If we are to make lasting progress against STDs in this country, we have to understand the systems that create inequities and work with partners to change them. No one can be left behind.”
