After the liberation of our country, due to the effective ban of brothels and prostitution activities by the party and government, and the extensive investigation and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, after ten years of efforts, syphilis was basically eliminated in 1959. In 1964, our country announced the basic elimination of sexually transmitted diseases to the world, which shocked the world and caused a sensation throughout the country. There are many controversies about the origin and spread of syphilis, and according to Western scholars, there was no syphilis in Europe before the 15th century. In 1492, Columbus first sailed to the United States, and some sailors had sexual relations with American women. When the sailors returned to Europe, they spread the disease to Italy and Spain.
In 1494, King Charles VIII of France recruited over 300000 soldiers from various countries and launched an expedition to Italy. Syphilis spread to Italy and surrounded the wave, leading to a syphilis pandemic in military camps. After soldiers suffering from syphilis returned home in 1495, syphilis became prevalent in Europe. Some people believe that in 1488, the Portuguese fleet brought syphilis to India. Some scholars also believe that in 1498, Columbus' fleet bypassed Cape Hope and arrived in India. Due to the arrival of infected crew members, syphilis was also brought to India. Through commercial transactions, syphilis also entered China. In 1505, the first case of syphilis was found and recorded in Guangdong Province. Later, syphilis spread widely from the coast to the mainland in China, with a high incidence rate, ranking first among sexually transmitted diseases.
The above is the process of this non communicable American disease spreading to Europe and the world. Syphilis is now under control, but if you are a syphilitic patient, go to the relevant medical institution for rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible, and you will recover soon.
