Description:

STDs are a substantial health challenge facing the United States. Many cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis continue to go undiagnosed and unreported, and data on several additional STDs – such as human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus, are not routinely reported to CDC. As a result, national surveillance data captures only a fraction of America’s STD burden. However, the data presented in the 2017 STD Surveillance Report provide important insight into the scope, distribution, and trends in STD diagnoses in the country.
