New federal data shows rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis
increased significantly in 2014.
Cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) increased
significantly in 2014, according to new data from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The new report shows that cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and
syphilis have gone up for the first time since 2006. For
chlamydia, one of the more common STDs, the CDC reports that 1.4
million cases were reported in 2014, a 2.8% increase in cases
from 2013, which represents the highest number of annual cases
of any condition ever reported to CDC. Each year, more than 70
infectious disease conditions including measles and
tuberculosis, are reported to the CDC.
Gonorrhea and syphilis cases also spiked. Syphilis has three
stages, and for the first two stages of the infection, the CDC
recorded a 15.1% increase in cases from 2013. For gonorrhea,
cases have gone up 5.1%.
Americas worsening STD epidemic is a clear call for better
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, Dr. Jonathan Mermin,
director of CDCs National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention said in a statement.
Women and young people are the most affected by STDs, according
to the CDC, but in 2014 the agency reports that increasing rates
in men, including among men who have sex with men, are
contributing to the overall uptick. While anyone can become
infected with an STD, certain groups, including young people and
gay and bisexual men, are at greatest risk, the CDC writes in a
statement. The agency says the increase in syphilis cases is
alarming, especially since many cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea,
and syphilis go undiagnosed and unreported. Exactly why STDs are
increasing isnt clear, so the CDC is calling for more research
on whats responsible whether its lack of awareness or
problems with access to testing that is fueling the rise.
In the meantime, the CDC says screening is critical for people
who are sexually active. Women under age 25 who are sexually
active, or have risk factors like multiple sexual partners,
should request yearly chlamydia and gonorrhea tests. Pregnant
women should request syphilis, HIV, chlamydia, and hepatitis B
tests early in their pregnancy, and gonorrhea tests if they have
had recently had multiple sex partners. The CDC recommends that
sexually active men who are gay, bisexual, or have sex with men,
should get tested for syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV at
least once a year and men at high risk should consider more
frequent testing.
