Article Synopsis
- The 2030 UN Agenda aims to eliminate STIs as a public health threat, but data on STI prevalence, especially among men in middle and low-income countries, is insufficient.
- The study analyzed survey data from military personnel across several African countries (Cameroon, Chad, DRC, etc.) between 2013-2018 to estimate active syphilis prevalence and its associations with demographic factors.
- Results showed low syphilis prevalence (<1%) in most countries, with notably higher rates in Chad (6.2%) and DRC (15.5%), highlighting a critical need for better epidemiological surveillance in sub-Saharan Africa.
