“MSM accounted for 62% of the 152,233 syphilis cases reported between 2007 and 2017 in which the sexual orientation of the patient was known, whereas heterosexual men comprised 23% of cases and women 15%.”

If my arithmetic is correct, that means MSM are at least 30 times more likely to be infected, than straight men. MSM are over 50 times as likely to be infected, than all women. (I assumed MSM to be 4% of the total population, and women to be 52% of the total population.)

I prefer to express these stats in percentages, to get the full feel of what this means.

So MSM are at least 3,000% more likely to be infected than straight men and over 5,000% more likely to be infected than all women.
