Rates of sexually transmitted diseases in the US decreased in the early months of the pandemic, but many had recovered and even increased by the end of 2020, CDC data shows
According to the 2020 STD Surveillance Report, cases of gonorrhea had risen 10% by the end of the year, and rates of syphilis, both primary and secondary, were up 7%. Primary and secondary refer to different stages of syphilis infection."In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted life as we knew it," Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of the CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention, said Tuesday.
"While the 2020 data shows that STDs increased among many groups, some racial and ethnic minority groups, gay and bisexual men and our nation's youth continue to bear the brunt of the epidemic," Mena said."These data illustrate the factors such as lack of access to regular medical care, discrimination, and stigma, continue to stand in the way of quality sexual health care for everyone who needs it," he said.
