How is syphilis spread?
According to the CDC, Syphilis spreads from person-to-person by direct contact with a syphilitic sore, known as a chancre. Chancres can occur in, on, or around the penis, vagina, anus, rectum, and lips or mouth. Syphilis can spread during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant people with syphilis also can transmit the infection to their unborn child.
What are some statistics for Syphilis?
Syphilis case reports continue to increase since reaching a historic low in 2000 and 2001. During 2020, there were 133,945 new cases of syphilis (all stages). Men who have sex with men (MSM) are experiencing extreme effects of syphilis. They account for 43 percent of all primary and secondary syphilis cases in the 2020 STD Surveillance Report. They also account for 53 percent of all male P&S cases. However, case rates are increasing among heterosexual men and women in recent years. 1 Congenital syphilis continues to be a concern in the United States.
