Abstract

During 2011 through 2015 in Idaho, 14 (7%) of 193 persons with early syphilis had repeat syphilis. Persons with repeat infections were more likely to have had secondary or early latent syphilis (P = 0.037) and be infected with human immunodeficiency virus (P < 0.001) compared with those having 1 infection.
