Syphilis on the Rise in Minnesota
Syphilis rates are increasing in Minnesota. Syphilis is a
sexually transmitted disease that can cause serious health complications if
left untreated, including damage to the heart, blood vessels, liver, bones and
joints, dementia and even death. Untreated syphilis in pregnant women can lead
to a low birth weight baby, early delivery of a baby or stillbirth.
Be a champion for your clients by raising their
awareness of all sexually transmitted diseases, particularly syphilis, and help
improve and maintain their long term health.
For more information about syphilis, testing
locations and/or printed materials visit this MDH link. If you are interested in
educational trainings for your staff and/or clients on syphilis, HIV, hepatitis
C and other STDs, don’t hesitate to contact the Department of Health directly. To request a presentation
