Data is not representative. This data reflects only sites conducting testing for syphilis, and treatment is based only on lab based results. only 63.8% of all reactive results for syphilis receive treatment. Not all of them will receive treatment as some may have exposed to syphilis during their previous pregnancy or during their adulthood, and may have been  treated, thus may not require treatment. furthermore, we can not make conclusion that syphilis is high in Solomon islands, as yaws was common in Solomon Islands and no test to differentiate both yaws and syphilis.
