After years of decline, syphilis on rise in Virginia"Some of these men are involved in relationships with women who are
unaware of their partner's bisexuality, Mason said. This behavior causes
an increase in infections among men and puts women at greater risk for
contracting the disease, he said. Mason described the case of a man who
lives in Hampton. Officials conducted a confidential interview with him
to discover where his syphilis infection originated and whether other
sexual partners were at risk. The patient was a single man in his 30s
who went to clubs in Washington, D.C., where holes in walls allowed men
to have anonymous intercourse. "He never saw the people," Mason
said."While I'm just as happy as the next person that Syphilis is in it's
upward cycle, the point of this SPA LOE (The second in as many days) is
what I've bolded. Amazing I know, but if you regularly engage in sex
with someone you have never met, you might just have a higher risk of
getting an STD!
