Health officials in Canton, Ohio, on Friday reported diagnosing two cases of primary syphilis, both apparently related to prostitution. Canton Health Commissioner Robert Pattison said the cases are the first reported instances of primary syphilis in five years. "I strongly encourage anyone at risk to seek medical treatment," he said. "The confidentiality of your medical records is protected by law and will not be shared with anyone, including law enforcement or employers." STD treatment and examinations are available free from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and Friday mornings at the Canton Health Department; telephone 330-489-3322.
