In March 2003, CDC's Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention (DSTDP) published Recommendations for Public Health Surveillance of Syphilis in the United States. The recommendations were developed for state and local public health programs. The recommendations are intended to make the collection and reporting of syphilis surveillance data more uniform and comparable.
