Tokyo Sees 20% Increase in Syphilis Cases; Remarkably More From Women in Their 20s

Tokyo Sees 20% Increase in Syphilis Cases; Remarkably More From Women in Their 20s

If the declining birthrate of Japan wasn’t enough, the nation is dealing with another kind of problem with sexually transmitted diseases, and Tokyo has been hit the worst, with a 20% increase in reported syphilis cases and “remarkably more” from women in their 20s.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government held a liaison conference to discuss infectious diseases, where it was reported that the number of reports of syphilis in Tokyo was about 20% higher than the previous year. More specifically, the number of syphilis reports in Tokyo was 1,297 as of May 11th.

Tokyo Sees 20% Increase in Syphilis Cases; Remarkably More From Women in Their 20s

The increase of women in their 20s infected by the sexually transmitted disease was said to be “remarkable,” and the metropolitan government plans to continue conducting free and anonymous tests throughout the year and help women with events such as a “Ladies’ Day” to strengthen their inspection system.

In any case, people looking to mess around with ‘Toyoko Kids’ and others in the area will likely be thinking twice before jumping into love hotels.
