Description:As noted in the 2021 National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine report, Sexually Transmitted Infections: Adopting a Sexual Health Paradigmexternal icon, surveillance is key to understanding the magnitude of sexually transmitted infections in the United States and in subpopulations that are most affected.1 The 2020 STD Surveillance Report provides trends in STDs to describe current epidemiology of nationally notifiable STDs and inform prevention and control strategies. This overview summarizes national surveillance data for 2020 on the three notifiable diseases for which there are federally funded control programs: chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced uncertainty and difficulty in interpreting STD surveillance data collected during 2020 and trends presented in Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance, 2020 should be interpreted cautiously. For more information, please see Impact of COVID-19 on STDs.
