Reported Sexually Transmitted Diseases Increase in Calaveras County
San Andreas, CA...A significant increase in Calaveras County residents diagnosed with a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) in 2017 was reported by the Calaveras County Public Health Division (CCPHD). According to local health authorities, cases of gonorrhea increased from 12 cases in 2016 to 21 cases in 2017, while cases of syphilis increased from 6 to 10 during the same time period. Similar increases in STD rates were seen statewide as well. According to a report released by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), more than 300,000 cases of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and early Syphilis were reported in 2017: a 45 percent increase compared to 5 years ago.
Particularly concerning, in 2017, there were 30 stillbirths due to congenital syphilis in California. This is the highest number reported since 1995.
STDs can cause a number of serious health problems if left untreated. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. Syphilis can cause permanent vision loss, hearing and other neurologic problems.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea rates are highest among people under 30 and women. Men may have equal rates of infection but are less likely to be diagnosed and treated by a health care provider.
“STDs are preventable by consistently using condoms, and many STDs can be cured with antibiotics,” said Calaveras County Public Health Officer Dr. Dean Kelaita.
“Regular testing and treatment are very important for people who are sexually active, even for those who have no symptoms. Most people infected with an STD do not know it.” Calaveras County Public Health is working with the medical community to better diagnose and treat those at risk for STDs. People living in Calaveras County can get condoms at no cost by visiting the Public Health Office or by ordering them online at https://publichealth.calaverasgov.us/Community-Health-News.
For more information on STDs, please contact the Calaveras County Public Health Division at 209-754-6460.
