Corporate Authors:

National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (U.S.). Division of STD Prevention. Syphilis Elimination Effort.
Description:

The U. S. has a unique but narrow window of opportunity to eliminate syphilis while cases are still declining.

Why is Syphilis Elimination in the U.S. within our reach now?

• Syphilis is a preventable and curable sexually transmitted disease (STD).

• Infectious syphilis is at the lowest rate ever reported: 2.6 cases/100,000 population (6,993 total cases).

• Syphilis is now very concentrated.

- - Half of all new cases in 1998 were reported from only 28 counties, which represent less than 1% of all U.S. counties.

- - Counties with high infectious syphilis rates (>4.0 cases/100,000 population) are clustered in the Southeastern U.S.

• Other industrialized countries have already eliminated syphilis.
