The number of reported syphilis cases is climbing after being largely on the decline since 1941, and gonorrhea rates are now increasing.' “这一进展后来被打破了。自从1941年以来，梅毒病例的报告数量一直在下降，现在又在上升，淋病的发病率也在上升。” 'Many young women continue to have undiagnosed chlamydial infections, putting them at risk for infertility.' “许多年轻女性仍然有未确诊的衣原体感染，使她们面临不孕的风险。” ▲Three STDs reach all-time highs in the US, new CDC report says (via CNN) 图 via CNN 性传播疾病引起的最严重的后果就是会导致婴儿死亡。 There has been a concerning rise in congenital syphilis cases, increasing each year since 2013, according to the report. Congenital syphilis is a severe, disabling and often life-threatening infection that occurs in infants when a pregnant mother who has syphilis spreads the disease through the placenta to her baby. 报告称，自2013年以来，先天梅毒病例逐年增加，令人担忧。先天梅毒是一种严重的、致残的、经常危及生命的感染。携带梅毒的孕妇会通过胎盘将梅毒传播给婴儿。 'One of the things that really stands out in this new report is the new and updated data on congenital syphilis, which is one of the most tragic consequences of this growing epidemic,' said Elizabeth Torrone, a CDC epidemiologist who worked on the new report. “这份新报告中最突出的一点是，有关先天梅毒的最新数据，这是梅毒日益流行的最悲惨后果之一，”撰写这份新报告的美国疾病控制与预防中心的流行病学家伊丽莎白·托罗内说道。 The STD surveillance report for the year 2017 found that cases of congenital syphilis have more than doubled since 2013. The new report found that last year there were 1,306 cases of congenital syphilis among newborns reported to the CDC. 2017年的性传播疾病监测报告发现，先天梅毒病例自2013年起，增加了一倍多。新报告发现，去年美国疾病控制与预防中心接到的新生儿先天梅毒病例为1306例。 'Most concerning in that overall case count -- there were 94 infant deaths related to congenital syphilis,' Torrone said. 托罗内说道:“最令人担忧的是，总体病例数中有94例婴儿死亡与先天梅毒有关。” ▲Three STDs reach all-time highs in the US, new CDC report says (via CNN) 图 via nbc-2.com 此外，新报告还发现，青少年和年轻成年人的报告病例比率最高。专家猜测性传播病例数上升可能与性行为方式的改变有关。 For instance, results from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance, published last year by the CDC, found that among sexually active high school students, the prevalence of using a condom during a recent sexual experience increased from 46.2% to 62.8% between 1991 and 2005 but then decreased from 62.8% to 53.8% between 2005 and 2017. 例如，美国疾病控制与预防中心去年发表2017年青年危险行为监测结果，监测发现，在性生活活跃的高中生中，关于最近一次性经历中使用避孕套的普遍性，1991年至2005年间从46.2%上升到62.8%，但随后在2005到2017年间从62.8%下降到了53.8%。 Condom use among men who have sex with men has also decreased, past research found. 过去的研究发现，男男性行为使用安全套的情况也有所减少。 ▲Three STDs reach all-time highs in the US, new CDC report says (via CNN) 此外，社会经济因素也会影响一个人是否得到及时的检查和治疗。 The National Coalition of STD Directors said in a statement on Tuesday that 'steep increases in STDs are largely due to federal, state, and local funding cutbacks.' 美国国家性病联盟董事会在周二的一份声明中表示，“性传播疾病的急剧增长主要是由于联邦、州和地方的资金削减。” In 2012, for instance, 52% of state and local STD programs experienced budget cuts, amounting to reductions in clinic hours, contact tracing and screening for common STDs, according to the CDC. 例如，疾病控制与预防中心数据显示，2012年，52%的州和地方性病防治项目经历了预算削减，减少了门诊时间、接触者追踪和普通性病筛查。 'We have an STD crisis in the US because prevention programs were sold short for years,' David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, said in the statement. 全国性病理事联盟的执行理事大卫·哈维在声明中说:“我们美国正面临着性病危机，因为多年来，预防性病的计划都被低估了。” ▲Three STDs reach all-time highs in the US, new CDC report says (via CNN)
