'Newsweek' reports that syphilis cases
had the highest annual increase since
President Harry Truman was in the White House.
Truman left office in January of 1953.
Between 2020 and 2021, the U.S. saw almost a
28% increase in the total number of annual syphilis cases,
with just over 171,000 people having confirmed infections.
Over the same period of time, chlamydia infections were up 3.1%, with over 1.6 million cases, and gonorrhea went up 2.8% to nearly 700,000 cases.
Last year, the U.S. saw 2.5 million cases
of these three STDs, with 4.4% more cases
than public health officials detected in 2020.
Over two decades of level funding,
when you account for inflation and
population changes, have effectively
decreased the buying power of public
health dollars and resulted in the reduction
of STI services at the local level, Leandro Mena, Director of the CDC's Division
of STD Prevention, via 'Newsweek'.
However, even prior to the COVID pandemic, the number
of STDs in the U.S. was on the rise, with cases
up as much as 45% from 2012 to 2017.
STIs are preventable by consistently
using condoms, and many STIs
can be cured with antibiotics, Dr. Karen Smith, California Department
of Public Health director, via 'Newsweek'.
Regular testing and treatment are very
important for people who are sexually active,
even for people who have no symptoms. Most people infected with an STI
do not know it, Dr. Karen Smith, California Department
of Public Health director, via 'Newsweek'

student debt – no matter how
many times Republican elected

doing its job and instead focusing on
its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.

stop them from that. But it’s also not going to stop the president from acting and taking action, like he is today.”
