Meeting - August 1-2, 2005
Syphilis Elimination Effort Consultation Meeting The Syphilis Elimination Effort (SEE), launched in October 1999, aims to reduce the incidence and transmission of infectious syphilis in the United States with consequent benefits to child health, reducing racial disparities, and improving public health infrastructure for STD control. At its inception, the effort was largely oriented towards tackling the challenges of endemic syphilis affecting underserved minority populations in the southeastern United States. Recent changes in disease epidemiology, characterized by the re-emergence of syphilis among men who have sex with men, require a reframing of the purpose and recommended strategies of the SEE. more Report of the Syphilis Elimination Effort Consultation (1.2 MB) (November2005) 2003 Profiles released at meeting
