Syphilis Treatment Among People Who Are Pregnant in Six U.S. States, 2018-2021

CONCLUSION: In this surveillance cohort, people without timely prenatal care had the highest risk for syphilis treatment inadequacy; however, almost a third of people who received timely prenatal care were not adequately treated.
