The highest rate of syphilis within the period from 1950 to 2023 was reported in 1950 with *** cases per every 100,000 population in the United States. This statistic shows the timeline of rates of reported cases of syphilis in the United States for selected years between 1950 and 2023.

In 2023, the U.S. state with the highest reported rate of congenital syphilis was South Dakota, with a rate of ***** cases per 100,000 newborns. This statistic shows rates of reported cases of congenital syphilis among infants in the United States in 2023, by state.

Rates of syphilis in the United States are higher among men than women. This is true for every race and ethnicity, although the difference varies greatly. For example, among the Black population, there were around 62.3 cases of syphilis among men per 100,000 population in 2023 and only 18.8 cases per 100,000 population among women. On the other hand, rates of syphilis among American Indians/Alaska Natives were similarly high for both men and women with rates of 63.6 and 52.9 per 100,000 population, respectively. What is syphilis? Syphilis is a common and treatable sexually transmitted disease (STD). Anyone who is sexually active can contract syphilis, however men who have sex with only men accounted for slightly more cases than other groups in 2022. There are four stages of syphilis, and each stage has different signs and symptoms. The stages are primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Syphilis can be cured with antibiotics. How many people get syphilis each year? In 2022, there were around 207,255 cases of syphilis in the United States. This was the highest number of cases recorded since the 1950s. In comparison, in the year 2000, there were only around 31,618 cases. Like chlamydia and gonorrhea, rates of syphilis in the United States have increased over the past couple decades reaching 62 per 100,000 population in 2022. However, this rate is still far below the rate of 146 cases per 100,000 population recorded in 1950. Rates of syphilis in the U.S. are highest among people in their twenties and early thirties.

In the United States in 2021-2022, maternal syphilis rates varied considerably across the states, ranging from 45.8 per 100,000 births in Maine to 762.6 per 100,000 births in South Dakota. This statistic depicts maternal syphilis rates during pregnancy in the United States in 2021-2022, by state, per 100,000 births.

In 2022, the highest rate of syphilis in U.S. men was reported in the age group between 30 and 34 years, with 62 cases per 100,000 population. This statistic shows the rates of reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis in the United States in 2023, by age group and gender.

NNDSS - TABLE 1HH. Syphilis, Congenital to Syphilis, Primary and Secondary – 2020. In this Table, provisional cases* of notifiable diseases are displayed for United States, U.S. territories, and Non-U.S. residents.

Note: This table contains provisional cases of national notifiable diseases from the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). NNDSS data from the 50 states, New York City, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories are collated and published weekly on the NNDSS Data and Statistics web page (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/data-and-statistics.html). Cases reported by state health departments to CDC for weekly publication are provisional because of the time needed to complete case follow-up. Therefore, numbers presented in later weeks may reflect changes made to these counts as additional information becomes available. The national surveillance case definitions used to define a case are available on the NNDSS web site at https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/. Information about the weekly provisional data and guides to interpreting data are available at: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/infectious-tables.html.

Footnotes: U: Unavailable — The reporting jurisdiction was unable to send the data to CDC or CDC was unable to process the data. -: No reported cases — The reporting jurisdiction did not submit any cases to CDC. N: Not reportable — The disease or condition was not reportable by law, statute, or regulation in the reporting jurisdiction. NN: Not nationally notifiable — This condition was not designated as being nationally notifiable. NP: Nationally notifiable but not published. NC: Not calculated — There is insufficient data available to support the calculation of this statistic. Cum: Cumulative year-to-date counts. Max: Maximum — Maximum case count during the previous 52 weeks. * Case counts for reporting years 2019 and 2020 are provisional and subject to change. Cases are assigned to the reporting jurisdiction submitting the case to NNDSS, if the case's country of usual residence is the U.S., a U.S. territory, unknown, or null (i.e. country not reported); otherwise, the case is assigned to the 'Non-U.S. Residents' category. Country of usual residence is currently not reported by all jurisdictions or for all conditions. For further information on interpretation of these data, see https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/Users_guide_WONDER_tables_cleared_final.pdf. †Previous 52 week maximum and cumulative YTD are determined from periods of time when the condition was reportable in the jurisdiction (i.e., may be less than 52 weeks of data or incomplete YTD data).

The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Morbidity online databases on CDC WONDER contain case reports reported from the 50 United States and D.C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and Guam. The online databases report the number of cases and disease incidence rates by year, state, disease, age, sex of patient, type of STD, and area of report, since 1984. Data are updated annually. Data are produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for HIV/AIDS, viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP).

These data contain case counts and rates for sexually transmitted diseases (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early syphilis which includes primary, secondary, and early latent syphilis) reported for California residents, by disease, county, year, and sex.

Data were extracted on cases with an estimated diagnosis date from 2001 through the last year indicated, from California Confidential Morbidity Reports and/or Laboratory Reports that were submitted to CDPH by July of the current year and which met the surveillance case definition for that disease. Because of inherent delays in case reporting and depending on the length of follow-up of clinical, laboratory and epidemiologic investigation, cases with eligible diagnosis dates may be added or rescinded after the date of this report.

In the United States, the overall rate of syphilis among mothers delivering babies more than tripled from 2016 to 2022, increasing from 87.2 to 280.4 cases per 100,000 births. This statistic depicts the rate of maternal syphilis during pregnancy in the United States from 2016 to 2022, per 100,000 births.

The highest number of reported cases of syphilis in the United States within the period from 1950 and 2023 was reported in 1950 with a figure of 217,558, followed by 2023 with 209,253 cases. This statistic shows the timeline of the number of reported cases of syphilis in the United States for selected years between 1950 to 2023.

The dataset "California STD Statistics (2001-2021).csv" contains information about reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early syphilis, which includes primary, secondary, and early latent syphilis) across different counties in the United States from the year 2001 to 2021.

Between 1985 and 2023, the lowest rate of chlamydia cases was reported in 1985 with a rate of **** cases per every 100,000 population in the United States. This statistic shows the timeline for rates of reported cases of chlamydia in the United States for selected years between 1985 and 2023.

Prior research has found that places and people that are more economically disadvantaged have higher rates and risks, respectively, of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Economic disadvantages at the level of places and people, however, are themselves influenced by economic policies. To enhance the policy relevance of STI research, we explore, for the first time, the relationship between state-level minimum wage policies and STI rates among women in a cohort of 66 large metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the US spanning 2003–2015. Our annual state-level minimum wage measure was adjusted for inflation and cost of living. STI outcomes (rates of primary and secondary syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia per 100,000 women) were obtained from the CDC. We used multivariable hierarchical linear models to test the hypothesis that higher minimum wages would be associated with lower STI rates. We preliminarily explored possible socioeconomic mediators of the minimum wage/STI relationship (e.g., MSA-level rates of poverty, employment, and incarceration). We found that a $1 increase in the price-adjusted minimum wage over time was associated with a 19.7% decrease in syphilis rates among women and with an 8.5% drop in gonorrhea rates among women. The association between minimum wage and chlamydia rates did not meet our cutpoint for substantive significance. Preliminary mediation analyses suggest that MSA-level employment among women may mediate the relationship between minimum wage and gonorrhea. Consistent with an emerging body of research on minimum wage and health, our findings suggest that increasing the minimum wage may have a protective effect on STI rates among women. If other studies support this finding, public health strategies to reduce STIs among women should include advocating for a higher minimum wage.

In 2023, the highest rates of chlamydia were reported for the age group between 20 and 24 years, with men having a rate of ***** (per 100,000 population) and women a rate of ***** (per 100,000 population). This statistic shows the rates of reported cases of chlamydia in the United States in 2023, by age group and gender.

This study aimed to analyze the association between incidence rates for gestational and congenital syphilis and coverage of prenatal care from 2007 to 2017 in the State of Bahia, Brazil. This was an ecological and longitudinal study in which the units of analysis were the municipalities (counties) of the State of Bahia. Secondary data were used, obtained from the databases of the Health Information Systems. Analysis of the association between the incidence rates and prenatal coverage was performed with panel datal, using the fixed model with negative binomial response, controlled for socioeconomic, demographic, and temporal variables. In the multivariate analyses, prenatal coverage showed a statistically significant positive association with gestational syphilis incidence rate, but no association was found with congenital syphilis the incidence rate. Using municipalities with prenatal coverage < 45% as the reference group, the gestational syphilis incidence rate increased by 22% and 25%, respectively, in municipalities with prenatal coverage of 45%-64.9% (RR = 1.22; 95%CI: 1.11-1.33) and ≥ 65% (RR = 1.25; 95%CI: 1.10-1.43). The findings indicate that although the expansion of prenatal coverage in municipalities in Bahia has helped improve the detection of gestational syphilis, it did not impact the congenital syphilis incidence rate. Prenatal care as provided suffers limitations that should be the target of interventions to prevent and block vertical syphilis transmission.

In 2023, there were an estimated 1.03 million cases of chlamydia among women in the United States and around 610,445 cases among men. Furthermore, that year, there were around 378,428 cases of gonorrhea among men and 221,176 cases among women. Despite the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) being more commonplace and testing and contraception, for the most part, widely accessible in the United States, rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, have all risen in recent years. Chlamydia in the United States According to the CDC, chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. In 2023, there were around 492 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 population, a substantial increase from a rate of 289 per 100,000 population in the year 2002. Those aged 20 to 24 had the highest rates of chlamydia in the U.S. in 2023. Although chlamydia often has no symptoms, it can cause serious health problems if left untreated, one of the reasons those who are sexually active should be regularly tested for STDs. Once diagnosed, chlamydia can be easily cured with antibiotics. Gonorrhea Rates of gonorrhea in the United States decreased after reaching a peak in the 1980s but began to rise again over the past decade. In 2023, there were 179.5 cases of gonorrhea per 100,000 population in the United States, compared to 98 cases per 100,000 population in the year 2009. While rates of chlamydia in the U.S. tend to be higher among women than men, rates of gonorrhea are higher among men, with those aged 20 to 24 the most affected. Like chlamydia, gonorrhea can be cured with medicine but can cause serious and permanent health problems if left untreated.
