Tokyo Sees 20% Increase in Syphilis Cases; Remarkably More From Women in Their 20s
If the declining birthrate of Japan wasn’t enough, the nation is dealing with another kind of problem with sexually transmitted diseases, and Tokyo has been hit the worst, with a 20% increase in reported syphilis cases and “remarkably more” from women in their 20s.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government held a liaison conference to discuss infectious diseases, where it was reported that the number of reports of syphilis in Tokyo was about 20% higher than the previous year. More specifically, the number of syphilis reports in Tokyo was 1,297 as of May 11th.
The increase of women in their 20s infected by the sexually transmitted disease was said to be “remarkable,” and the metropolitan government plans to continue conducting free and anonymous tests throughout the year and help women with events such as a “Ladies’ Day” to strengthen their inspection system.
In any case, people looking to mess around with ‘Toyoko Kids’ and others in the area will likely be thinking twice before jumping into love hotels.
The first comment: I remember a few years ago, 2 Chinese dudes learnt that they syphilis or another sex transmitted disease, decided to spread it to as many women as possible, with they doing it with over 200 women in the span of a 3 months until they were discovered and arrested.. The damage they did was considered incalculable as those 200 women likely spread the disease to over 150 men each for over 30.000 cases of the disease spreading.
I remember that evil plan about these Chinese dudes too, so they success. 😬 And the Chinese people wonder why they’re hated.
