The CDC is facing major funding cuts, with a direct impact on state and local health departments.
Last month, a local health department in Texas received notification that a pregnant woman living in the area had tested positive for syphilis and had fallen behind on her ob/gyn care. It was a troubling situation, one that has become increasingly common as sexually transmitted infection cases surge both locally and nationally.
“And then we look at losing the boots on the ground to do the work, and we really feel like our hands are tied as we see these rates rising.” At the end of June, CDC officials sent a letter to grantees announcing the loss of funding for STI prevention programs.
