Europe is seeing a resurgence in syphilis, the sexually-transmitted disease. Why the increase all across Europe? Apparently, all the safe sex talk of the last 20 years is being pushed aside as Europeans are taking greater risks in their sex lives.The largest cause of the resurgence has been found to be in gay men, who are having unprotected sex at a larger rate than in previous years and are causing more syphilis cases.
Even so, more cases in heterosexual people are popping up as well. Just as in Europe, though, syphilis returned from the brink of extinction in 2000 to seeing over 9,800 cases last year in the U.S.
