Syphilis outbreak

Cases of syphilis have increased every year since 2013; there's been an increase of 73% since then. It seems that the rate is highest among babies born with syphilis; it has more than doubled in the past four years and last year reached a 20-year high, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet, syphilis was thought to be almost eliminated by 2000.

What is going on?
