From 2019 to 2024, syphilis cases in Colorado rose 127 percent,
while congenital syphilis saw a 520 percent increase

This series will equip professionals across Colorado’s health care, public health and corrections systems with the knowledge, skills and resources to effectively address the increasing prevalence of syphilis in communities across the state. The four sessions will cover the most pressing gaps in the screening, identification and treatment of syphilis. Participants will gain critical insights into the updated state syphilis recommendations, learn best practices for implementing required testing, and explore the social determinants that continue to fuel syphilis transmission, particularly among populations with limited access to sexual health care.
