If untreated, it can cause serious health issues. mmcvey01_ https://padlet.com/mmcvey01_/ltufnchl2z43g22i/wish/2803553679 2023-11-27 05:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcvey01_/ltufnchl2z43g22i/wish/2803553679 In 2015, about 45.4 million people had syphilis infections, of which six million were new cases. During 2015, it caused about 107,000 deaths, down from 202,000 in 1990. After decreasing dramatically with the availability of penicillin in the 1940s, rates of infection have increased since the turn of the millennium in many countries, often in combination with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). mmcvey01_ https://padlet.com/mmcvey01_/ltufnchl2z43g22i/wish/2803556021 2023-11-27 05:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcvey01_/ltufnchl2z43g22i/wish/2803556021
