As has been repeated throughout STD Awareness Month, the rates of the three reportable STDs (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) are on the rise. And that includes rates of congenital syphilis—spread from a pregnant person to their fetus—which have more than doubled in the last four years to 918 reported cases in the most recent data […]
Historic rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) indicate that something about our response isn’t working. In fact, maybe even many things aren’t working. One thing is certain — not all clinical encounters are patient-centered. There are several elements that make up patient-centered care, including respect for patients’ preferences, encouraging patients’ involvement in their healthcare,...
Did you know that in 2000, rates of syphilis reached historic lows in the United States? Since 2013, syphilis rates have increased in every region and in almost every race/ethnicity and age group across the U.S., and in 2017, more than 100,000 cases of syphilis in the U.S. were reported to the CDC. Rates of early […]
STD Voices, a new initiative from the National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD), is aimed at sharing the voices of people living with or affected by STDs.

In an effort to encourage the urgent action and resources needed […]
A new CDC analysis suggests that men who have sex with men (MSM) are at elevated risk for extragenital STDs (e.g. chlamydia or gonorrhea in the throat or rectum), which can be difficult to treat, lead to drug resistance, and increase the risk of HIV infection. Researchers used CDC’s National HIV Behavioral Surveillance data to […]
In the United States, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise, reaching record levels in 2017. Young people aged 15-24 account for half of new STIs each year, due in part to barriers they face in accessing sexual health services. Many young people are reluctant to seek sexual health services due to stigma or […]
In 2017, rates of STDs reached an all-time high among males and females and all racial and ethnic groups. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Office of HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Policy (OHAIDP) is coordinating, along with other federal partners, the development of an inaugural federal action plan for STD prevention, diagnosis, […]

There are two programs available: Engaging […]
