NOTE: Cases and rates shown in this table include District of Columbia but exclude US territories. See Technical Notes for more information on syphilis case reporting and on collection of race and Hispanic ethnicity data for STI cases. This report includes data from years that coincide with the COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced uncertainty and difficulty in interpreting case data. See Impact of COVID-19 on STIs for more information.
