Those are the numbers...but if you scroll down they tell you much, much more. And the treatment they give is an intramuscular injection of penicillin.
As far as I can tell the MSNBC story is (like many MSNBC stories) just not correct. No pill is going to cure it (like the MSNBC story claims)
The CDC is the authority in the U.S.
IF the treatment were to change, then they would say so I would assume.
One thing is for sure though...one intramuscular shot of a specific antibiotic (which the CDC says is penicillin) cures syphilis
