Despite statewide efforts to combat the rise of sexually transmitted diseases, syphilis is still on the rise in California.
A new report from the California Department of Public Health (DPH) shows “total early,” or the combination of “early primary and secondary” with “early latent,” syphilis rates increased statewide between 2011 and 2012.
The update, released January 31, shows a jump of over 10 percent in Los Angeles - 25 percent in new syphilis cases in San Francisco alone. In December, WeHo News published a well-regarded special feature on syphilis in West Hollywood that revealed the difficulties of combating the disease. Click here to read that story…
The DPH noted the challenges of battling syphilis, specifically. The disease has a multi-week incubation period and the symptoms are often painless, meaning those infected might not realize they have contracted it. People often engage in what they consider to be safe sex only to find they have been infected through touching genitalia with their bare hands, then writing off their symptoms as a rash.
Apparently new cases are occurring in higher numbers among homosexual men and transgender persons, but the cause of this increase is not easy to pinpoint. In addition, a 2010 report showed that 54.2 percent of primary and secondary syphilis cases among men who have sex with men were reported as co-infections with HIV. The two diseases act as catalysts for one another, making it easier to catch both.
The number of cases among partners who meet on the Internet is on the rise, as noted in a recent WeHo News special feature on the disease. Since 2001 the number of syphilis cases reported from partners meeting via the internet increased yearly, peaking to over forty percent in 2010.
Among men who have sex with men (MSM), cases reporting Internet use to meet sex partners, Adam4Adam was the most commonly reported website (61.7 percent), followed by Craigslist.com (21.4 percent).
In December, San Francisco announced an increased effort to bring safe sex to the city. The Department of Public Health proposed a $200,000 to $400,000 investment in the distribution of condoms and lubrication materials citywide.
"The CDC [Center for Disease Control] recently released a report that listed condom distribution as one of its top four priorities for disease prevention," Tracey Packer, acting director of HIV Prevention at the Department of Public Health told The Huffington Post in November. "We want to make sure San Francisco gets the condoms it needs."
Officials are seeking new strategies to deal with syphilis. "We can't keep doing the same things we've always done and wonder why things aren't improving," STD Prevention and Control Services Director Susan Philips told San Francisco Weekly. "We're taking a new holistic approach that looks at the entire person. It's a brave new world."
