New York's Sexual Health Dashboard
There were 101,520 chlamydia diagnoses in 2024, a 7.1% decrease from 109,329 in 2023
There were 44,965 gonorrhea diagnoses in 2024, a 2.5% decrease from 46,120 in 2023
There were 2,360 primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses in 2024, an 18.3% decrease from 2,889 in 2023
New York State’s 2024 sexually transmitted infection (STI) data — released in April 2026 and now available on the STI Dashboard NY — points to an encouraging shift in the state’s sexual health landscape. For the first time in years, rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis all declined simultaneously, signaling meaningful progress in STI prevention and treatment across New York.
During Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Awareness Week 2026 (observed April 14-20), the New York State Department of Health convened a virtual expert roundtable panel focused on strengthening prevention, expanding testing, stigma reduction, and addressing the persistent disparities in STI-related outcomes.
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.
