The CDC recently released their 2015 "surveillance" report on sexually transmitted diseases across the nation and their rankings showed that The Grand Canyon State is doing pretty poorly in terms of syphilis cases.
These designations, which were ranked by rate, then by case count, places Arizona as eighth in the nation for syphilis.
