New York's Sexual Health Dashboard
This dashboard presents interactive data visualizations of key trends of three major reportable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in New York State, which include chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.
There were 109,328 chlamydia diagnoses in 2023, a 5.4% increase from 103,687 in 2022
There were 46,120 gonorrhea diagnoses in 2023, a 6.3% increase from 43,368 in 2022
There were 2,888 primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses in 2023, a 19.8% decrease from 3,603 in 2022
The New York State Department of Health (DOH) is urging expanded testing to combat rising congenital syphilis cases, following the third presumed infant death outside New York City in 2025. The announcement stresses the critical role of early detection and timely treatment in preventing transmission and safeguarding the health of New Yorkers statewide.
Explore the latest trends in Mpox and syphilis across New York State, as featured in the Office of Sexual Health & Epidemiology’s Data Insights on Sexual Health (DISH). This article highlights a 12-fold increase in early syphilis diagnoses since 2000, the historic inclusion of Mpox in annual STI surveillance, and underscores the ongoing racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in infection rates to inform targeted public health action.
To ensure the prevention, treatment, and elimination of sexually transmitted infections, a more comprehensive community approach is needed. A syndemic approach addresses the intersecting epidemics of HIV/AIDS, STIs, viral hepatitis, and substance use, and therefore is better equipped to tackle the inequities and health disparities that persist in New York.
Our partner dashboards include the New York State Hepatitis C (HCV) Elimination Dashboard and the Ending the HIV Epidemic (ETE) Dashboard:
