Description:
This fact sheet summarizes 2012 data on chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis published in CDC’s annual report, Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance, 2012 (available at www.cdc.gov/std/stats). The data are based on state and local STD case reports from a variety of private and public sources which indicate that the majority of cases are reported in non- STD clinic settings, such as private physician offices and health maintenance organizations.

Many cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis continue to go undiagnosed and unreported, and data on several additional STDs — such as human papillomavirus, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis — are not routinely reported to CDC. As a result, the annual surveillance report captures only a fraction of the true burden of STDs in America. However, it provides important insights into the scope and trends in STD diagnoses in the country.
