Surging STDs Endanger the Health of Too Many

STDs have come charging back across the nation. Since 2013, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis have all sharply increased – with more than two million of these infections reported in 2017 alone. Today, as these STDs continue to surge, we face a climbing number of babies born with syphilis, an increasing risk of infertility and getting or giving HIV, and the looming threat of untreatable gonorrhea.
It’s not all bad news: There are many ways to prevent STDs, and fortunately, most infections are curable and all are treatable.
