Sexually transmitted diseases control branch
The mission of the STD Control Branch is to reduce the transmission and impact of sexually transmitted diseases and viral hepatitis in California. The branch supports the prevention efforts through providing statewide leadership, guidance, training, technical assistance, surge capacity and safety net support for delivering services throughout the state. We carry out this mission by collaborating with local health jurisdictions and stakeholders in the public and private sectors.
Syphilis in babies – or congenital syphilis – increased 40 percent nationwide. 25 percent of those cases come from California. Prenatal care is crucial for every pregnancy. Without early and regular prenatal care, a pregnant person may not know that their baby is at risk for congenital syphilis.
