Gonorrhea and syphilis cases reached record levels during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to data released Tuesday from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.
The latest figures — part of an ongoing upward trend — follow Congress’ decision last month to provide far less funding to sexual health clinics that provide free and subsidized testing for sexually transmitted diseases, education, contraception and other services than providers say is needed to reverse the current course
Gonorrhea cases increased 10 percent in 2020, and syphilis infections were up 7 percent. Congenital syphilis, which had all but disappeared in the U.S. at the beginning of the century, increased 15 percent in 2020, contributing to at least 149 stillbirths and infant deaths that year.
And while the new report shows that chlamydia cases declined 13 percent in 2020, top health officials believe that reflects a drop in screenings for the frequently asymptomatic disease, not an actual reduction in the number of infections.
CDC officials told reporters on a call Tuesday that their not-yet-released preliminary data from 2021 indicate the situation has worsened, with higher rates of syphilis and congenital syphilis than in 2020.
