Sexually Transmitted Infections Clinic

 

Public Health Alert
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) is issuing a public health alert following five stillbirths or neonatal deaths in North Carolina babies with congenital syphilis born between Jan. 1, 2023, and Sept. 1, 2023. There is a continued statewide rise in syphilis cases among women, a 547% increase since 2012. Learn more here. Healthcare providers have an important role in preventing syphilis. Providers should complete a sexual health history for all patients. All pregnant women should be testing for syphilis at the first prenatal visit, between 28-30 weeks gestation, AND at delivery (this is required by NC state law). Visit the NCDHHS website for more resources for providers.
