Spain's Agencia EFE (fourth largest news agency worldwide, like our AP) reports from Tapachula, Mexico that 3 in 10 "irregular migrants" arriving at the southern Mexican border have tested positive for syphilis according to Brigada Callejera en Apoyo Elisa Martínez. Since these "irregular migrants" are all headed to the United States, and we have acute shortages of effective antibiotics, you can expect a syphilis epidemic here, soon.
Makes you wonder about the measles outbreak underway in Michigan, doesn't it?

ONG alerta de que tres de cada 10 migrantes en la frontera sur de México tienen sífilis
Agencia EFE - dom, 3 de marzo de 2024Tapachula (México), 3 mar (EFE).- Tres de cada 10 migrantes en la frontera sur de México tienen sífilis o alguna otra infección de transmisión sexual (ITS), según advirtió este domingo la organización 'Brigada Callejera en Apoyo Elisa Martínez', que realizó pruebas en la zona.
Ante el flujo migratorio, asociaciones como esta han realizado pruebas rápidas para detectar enfermedades de transmisión sexual en migrantes que están en Tapachula, en el límite de México con Guatemala.
Cristian Gómez Fuentes, responsable de la organización en Tapachula, reveló que han detectado un contagio considerable de sífilis, por lo que buscan atender de manera primaria esta enfermedad.
“Se le invita a la persona que se detecta y que lleve a su pareja para que los dos reciban su tratamiento, estamos hablando de un 30 % de la población general migrante y principalmente la población cubana. Ahora brigada está haciendo (pruebas de) VIH y sífilis y, gracias a Dios, no hemos detectado VIH”, expuso a EFE.
Ante la notación, el migrante cubano Leonel Vega Díaz recomendó a sus compatriotas acudir a los diferentes centros de salud, que se protejan y usen anticonceptivos.
"Aquí hay un centro que se llama Capacit Tapachula, donde ahí te atienden el VIH y cualquier tipo de enfermedad de transmisión sexual, el cubano si tiene esa situación y si sale por algún motivo les recomiendo se monitoreen cada rato y hagan su prueba porque a tiempo todo se puede resolver", dijo.
Rosemberg López Samayoa, presidente de 'Una Mano Amiga en la Lucha contra el Sida', reconoció que el panorama no es nada alentador, en particular por el tránsito de jóvenes.
“Por eso, cuando tenemos reuniones con la Comar (Comisión Mexicana de Ayuda a Refugiados) y el Instituto Nacional de Migración, (pedimos) que se involucren en los temas de la prevención y de la información que se le debe dar a los migrantes porque hay jóvenes que durante su trayecto vienen teniendo prácticas sexuales", expuso.
Destacó que la agrupación atiende a unos 400 migrantes mensuales, a quienes suele detectar enfermedades respiratorias, o infecciones por hongos, pues permanecen hasta siete días consecutivos sin aseo personal.
La venezolano Briseida manifestó que acudió al módulo de 'Brigada Callejera' porque necesita garantizar su salud para avanzar sanos.
“Nosotros traemos alguna gripe, infección, algunas enfermedades de nacimiento, y mientras uno más se consulte más oportunidades tiene de detectarlas a tiempo, nos preocupa", relató.
La situación refleja la crisis humanitaria en México, que reportó una subida anual de más del 77 % en la migración irregular al superar más de 782.000 personas en 2023.

NGO warns that three out of 10 migrants on the southern border of Mexico have syphilis
EFE Agency - Sun, March 3, 2024, 2:28 p. m. EST·2 min of readingTapachula (Mexico), Mar 3 (EFE) .- Three out of every 10 migrants on the southern border of Mexico have syphilis or some other sexually transmitted infection (STI), As warned this Sunday by the organization 'Callejera Brigade in Apoyo Elisa Martínez', which carried out tests in the area.
Given the migratory flow, associations like this have carried out rapid tests to detect sexually transmitted diseases in migrants who are in Tapachula, on the border of Mexico with Guatemala.
Cristian Gómez Fuentes, head of the organization in Tapachula, revealed that they have detected a considerable contagion of syphilis, so they seek to treat this disease primarily.
“ The person who is detected is invited to take their partner so that they both receive their treatment, we are talking about 30 % of the general migrant population and mainly the Cuban population. Now the brigade is doing (tests of) HIV and syphilis and, thank God, we have not detected HIV ”, he told EFE.
Given the notation, the Cuban migrant Leonel Vega Díaz recommended that his compatriots go to the different health centers, to protect themselves and use contraceptives.
"Here is a center called Capacit Tapachula, where you are treated for HIV and any type of sexually transmitted disease, the Cuban if he has that situation and if he comes out for any reason I recommend that they monitor each time and do their test because in time everything can be solved, "he said.
Rosemberg López Samayoa, president of 'A Friendly Hand in the Fight against AIDS', acknowledged that the outlook is not encouraging, particularly due to the transit of young people.
“ For this reason, when we have meetings with the Comar (Mexican Refugee Aid Commission) and the National Institute of Migration, (we ask) that they get involved in the issues of prevention and the information that should be given to migrants because there are young people who have been having sexual practices during their journey", exposed.
He stressed that the group cares for some 400 migrants a month, who are usually detected by respiratory diseases or fungal infections, as they remain up to seven consecutive days without personal hygiene.
Venezuelan Briseida said that she went to the 'Street Brigade' module because she needs to guarantee her health to advance healthy.
“ We bring some flu, infection, some birth diseases, and the more you consult the more opportunities you have to detect them in time, we are concerned, "he said.
The situation reflects the humanitarian crisis in Mexico, which reported an annual rise of more than 77% in irregular migration, exceeding more than 782,000 people in 2023.
