[The Gays From LA]

Gee, I thought only gay men were this gross and destructive. KiwiFarms told me #OnlyTheGays did this sort of thing.

What's going on, straight men degenerates? Passing along your STIs to your wives and babies, are you?

New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that the number of babies born with syphilis has risen by 10 times in the U.S. over the past decade. On Tuesday, the CDC reported that at least 3,700 newborns had congenital syphilis in 2022, a 32 percent increase from 2021, and 282 stillbirths and infant deaths occurred because of the bacterial infection, nearly 16 times more than the number of deaths in 2012. Babies can develop bone malformations, blindness, deafness, and developmental delays if they survive an infection. According to the Associated Press, it has now become more difficult for medical providers to obtain benzathine penicillin injections, the main treatment for congenital syphilis, due to shortages as Pfizer is the only supplier of the shot.

The primary stage of syphilis (the chance lesion) will clear on its own. Many people are fooled into thinking they are somehow "cured" or "better". They aren't. They can still pass the disease onto others (including their wives who can then pass it on to their newborn babies). If not treated, primary syphilis progresses to secondary syphilis which can include symptoms such as fever, swollen glands, a dash, sore throat. Syphilis is known as "the great imitator" because it can mimic a number of other diseases. Even though the symptoms from secondary syphilis may subside even if untreated, the disease is still very much present in the body. Tertiary syphilis can occur even decades after initial infection and that's when the full horrors of the disease start becoming obvious.
