They believe the only way to end an outbreak is to cure the infected and then find their sexual partners so they can also be treated.
But the leads Rocha gets on partners can be vague at best: He hangs out at a doughnut shop in the afternoon. He lives somewhere in a three-story apartment building across from a liquor store.
Rocha once parked near a freeway bridge where he’d been told he would find a patient’s former partner, armed only with his nickname and a description of his tattoos.

Yet syphilis rates have risen almost every year since the new millennium, picking up steam in the last few years. The number of infectious syphilis cases nationwide quadrupled in 15 years to 23,872 in 2015, according to data from the CDC.
The majority of new infections for years have been in men, particularly gay and bisexual men. This summer, the L.A.-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation erected billboards in the city as well as in Oakland, Dallas and Chicago warning of a “Syphilis Tsunami.”

Public health officials also say that gay men are using condoms less as fear of HIV has fallen. Some also speculate that hook-up apps have led to people having sex with more people because it’s easier to find new partners.
...
Part of the problem is that people won’t name their partners.
Rocha recalled one man who emailed an investigator a list of 100 names and phone numbers of people he’d slept with in the past year. But more often they’re hesitant or don’t know the names of people they’ve had sex with at bathhouses or met online.
“We’re happy if we just get one person,” Rocha said.

Ann is free to run for office and do it like she wants.
Overpaid talking heads don’t get to dictate agendas.
At one point Durruti separates out all the homosexuals and syphillis-and-gonorrhea-infected militiawomen from his forces, puts them in boxcars, takes them off on a railway siding, and mows them down with a machinegun.
Not my recommendation, by the way.
But it does show that the Spanish Left was even in the 1930’s a haven for disordered, promiscuous people (both hetero and homo) and even the Left found that sexual disorder (as in any kind of "sexual") is incompatible with combat-readiness.
Actually, incompatible with civilization.
She is right.. no wall =no votes for gop, cause they are busy acting like dems anyway..
Are you suggesting than Ann.....?
So many of the restrictions and limits on sexual behavior that all the usual suspects railed and ranted against were because of exactly this sort of thing.
They branded it as Narrow Minded Puritanism. Pointed at it and sneered. Now they die in large numbers.
Just like in history every time an in every part of any culture where the restrictions and limits were removed or never put in place.
Depraved idiots die stupid.
But the leads Rocha gets on partners can be vague at best: He hangs out at a doughnut shop in the afternoon. He lives somewhere in a three-story apartment building across from a liquor store. He used to be governor of Arkansas.
Best one today. Thank you.
Ain’t the sexual revolution grand?
Excellent.
like Denmark eradicated autism by killing those who had it?
Syphilis was eradicated decades ago by penicillin, only idiots do not get checkups regularly, if sexually active. Of course after a period of time, it won’t do any good, but other alternatives now for those allergic listed below:
“Penicillin is the antibiotic most commonly used to treat syphilis. Penicillin is usually given as a shot (injection). If you are allergic to penicillin, your doctor may prescribe another antibiotic in early stages of syphilis, such as doxycycline, tetracycline, ceftriaxone, or azithromycin.”

The same sh!t happened when they first tried to trace the AIDS virus decades ago; the government agencies involved were the first to realize how depraved these people were. While “gay marriage” advocates pretend they are just like us, some progressives who understand all too clearly the attraction of anonymous sex to these deviants are actually hoping it injects some stability into their lifestyles.
The more penicillin is used the more resitant organisms will show up...happened in late 60’s and 70’s...and 3rd stage syph is a *itch. Suspect todays dufuses wont even care as long as they have pot..meth..cocaine...oxycodone...food...and tv.
I guess its one advantage that so many men detest women....we’re not catching all their diseases...
True about almost all antibiotics, the more you use them, the less effective! Sad that people have so little morals, or uncaring attitudes about who they infect with sexual diseases. Scary stuff....
The next generation will have so much to deal with, it bothers me. Hopefully, there will be a return to sanity at some point. My prayers are up for them.
The escape thru drugs and such impure living will be felt for decades to come, even if people should become more interested in civilized life. What we see now is so far from the way I lived, and would like to see families and young people today. :)Not to say I wasn’t a typical teen of my time....lol
I read your tagline... it is so true, and Biblical. When I first became a Christian, it was a daily prayer to ask God for Wisdom.... the best thing I ever did! Be blessed!
