Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that was nearly eliminated from China 50 years ago,1 is now the most commonly reported communicable disease in Shanghai, China's largest city.2 No other country has seen such a precipitous increase in reported syphilis cases in the penicillin era. In 2008, an average of more than 1 baby per hour was born with congenital syphilis in China, for a total of 9480 cases; the rate had increased by a factor of 12 during the previous 5 years (see graph). A disease with social roots, syphilis has become a major scourge lurking in the shadows of a country that has rapidly ascended to the status of a global economic powerhouse.

After China's economy became increasingly market-based in the 1980s, the growing numbers of Chinese businessmen with money and young women without money translated into expanded demand and supply for the country's commercial sex industry. Meanwhile, Chinese social structures influence the effectiveness of syphilis-control programs in two important but countervailing ways: although newly established advocacy organizations for marginalized groups provide a foundation for expanding such programs, the social stigma associated with high-risk behaviors is a powerful deterrent to widespread syphilis-screening efforts.

In China, at least one third of men who have sex with men are married, and the transmission of syphilis to their wives and then children is an important consideration. The limited data that are available suggest that fear of being identified as a "social deviant" may steer members of marginalized groups away from official STI clinics where licensed physicians use national guidelines and have standardized laboratory facilities.

这句话没错，不过我以为梅毒不光是men to men同性传播再传播给妇幼吧？男人嫖妓是同样，如果不是更大的因素？

中国公共卫生系统好多年不提性病，现在估计再也拿不出解放初期的劲头来消灭性病了。不过，肯定是挺厉害的，我看国内的阿奇霉素（Zithromax Z-Pac）盒子上，第一条就写着治疗梅毒，下面才是治细菌性中耳炎、急性气管炎什么的。

早年间我家老人年轻的时候，学医，有点鄙薄皮肤科的，因为那时的皮科，其实是看大量的性病。而我们在这边的朋友是医生，女儿正在上医学院，他给女儿推荐两个科，儿科或者皮科，都是挣钱不少，但不那么辛苦的科。

青霉素真神奇，什么都能治，一想到这还是偶然被发明的我就捏一把冷汗。

我不知道别的生物中年哈，就说自己。上学的时候，只上过一节课，教授放了很多性病的照片，全班同学惊呼呻吟声此起彼伏，上完课大家庆幸不是医学生。

我觉得医学院的同学们是一定会鄙视我们的。我中学一个朋友大学读医，选修过一学期性病，男女生坐在一起拿着性病模型颠来倒去的研究，听她说时我不敢露出 神色，生怕被她鄙视
