Syphilis Statistics
Syphilis Statistics
- For thousands of years Syphilis has effected the human race, and is THRIVING in our day and age.
- From 1990 to 2000 Syphilis primary and secondary types have decreased by an astonishing 90%! Unfortunately in the year 2000 that number jumped from about 6,000 to about 7,500 in the following four years (2004).
- The year 2002 has a reported 32,000 cases of syphilis, keep in mind these are just the REPORTED number of cases. The number of primary and secondary cases topped about 6,800. Statistics have shown that HALF of ALL the reported cases came from a total of 16 countries. The facts also pointed out that the majority of reported cases were of people between the ages of 20 and 39.
- A 12.4% INCREASE in reported cases took place between the years 2001 and 2002. The majority of the cases reported took place in male’s, while the female rate kept decreasing. The estimated ratio of male to female cases was expected to be 3.5 men to 1 one female whom was infected.
- Women ages 20 – 24 were MOST prone to having the disease, while men statistics pointed at those ages 35 – 39. In the year 2001 there happened to be a reported 492 new cases of Syphilis, which is a greater number than that of the year 2002, in which there were a reported number of 412 cases total.
-The past 7 years have shown this, that syphilis is increasing primarily due to men having sex with other men, primarily in cities known for homosexuality, such as San Francisco, Miami, Seattle, and Chicago, but not limited to those cities. A link between HIV / AIDS infection and syphilis is a theory of many, but has not yet been proved. The theory is that genital sores caused by syphilis to greatly enhance transmission of the HIV infection, which is a VERY SERIOUS MATTER!

STD Medical Treatment Video Review: This video exposes statistics that scare many, and rightfully should! It does a great job of getting the public aware and it is a great thing. More video’s of this kind should be played on television more often, rather than videos exposing women’s bodies that create many problems in American youth today.
