Published June 29, 2022

Key Messages

  • The literature search did not identify any studies with relevant evidence on the clinical utility of syphilis screening using risk-based approaches versus population-wide approaches for adolescents and adults.
  • One overview of systematic reviews of variable methodological quality did not identify any systematic reviews on the clinical utility of syphilis screening comparing risk-based assessment to routine population-based screening in people at low risk of syphilis.
