Syphilis rates in the United States have been on the rise in recent years, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting over 130,000 cases in 2021. The increase is particularly notable among certain populations, including men who have sex with men and certain racial and ethnic groups. While syphilis is not as common as other sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea, it remains a significant public health concern due to potential complications if left untreated. Regular screening and prompt treatment are essential for prevention and control.
