Health officials concerned about syphilis outbreak : A Strain That Can Cause Blindness

ABC News reports:

Health officials say they are concerned about a syphilis outbreak, and this particular strain of the STD can cause blindness.

There have been 15 cases of ocular syphilis in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington state, and a number of those resulted in some level of blindness, according to AIDS Healthcare Foundation
President Michael Weinstein. Two cases have been identified in Los Angeles.

So far, all of the confirmed cases have occurred in gay men.

No word yet on when progressives will blame Christian conservatives for the "inequality" in this syphilis outbreak.
