Late syphilis — the advanced, untreated stage of syphilis infection — has nearly doubled in New York State, even as early syphilis rates declined from 2020 to 2024. This spotlight looks at who’s most affected and why accurate staging matters.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are common but easy to prevent and cure. Get the facts on testing, condoms, Doxy-PEP, and treatment. Read the recent Data Insights on Sexual Health (DISH) from the NYS DOH.
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.
