In the United States, the national rate of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis has increased almost every year since 2001 (1). In 2017, a total of 30,644 cases of P&S syphilis were reported in the United States, and the national rate was 9.5 cases per 100,000 population. This rate represents a 10.5% increase compared with 2016, and a 72.7% increase compared with 2013. This report, Syphilis Surveillance Supplement 2013– 2017, presents surveillance data on reported behaviors and characteristics among the reported P&S syphilis cases in the United States during 2013–2017. It is best viewed as a companion to Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2017 (1), which includes descriptions of trends in the number of syphilis cases and rates over time as well as comparison of syphilis rates and trends among demographic groups. Both of these publications are intended as reference documents for policy makers, program managers, researchers, and others who are concerned with syphilis and its public health implications.
