Today, August 24, 2026 is Syphilis During Pregnancy Awareness Day. New York is the only state in the nation with a dedicated awareness day to combat congenital syphilis. This year, the state highlights its ongoing prevention, testing, and treatment efforts.
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.
