Treponema pallidum (Tp), a spirochete bacterium, is the causative agent for the venereal disease
syphilis. As per WHO, globally, there were an estimated 7 million new syphilis infections in
2020. A new study, “Prevalence of syphilis among men who have sex with men: A global systematic
review and meta-analysis from 2000 to 2020” released earlier highlighting the unacceptably high
global prevalence of syphilis among homosexual men and underscores the need to advance stalled
progress toward eliminating syphilis as a public health threat by 2030. “This first review of
global syphilis prevalence among men who have sex with men highlights the urgent need to improve
access to syphilis testing, treatment and prevention services," said Dr Meg Doherty, Director of
WHO’s Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and STI Programs.
