Rochady mengatakan, skrining dilakukan di Kota Bandung dan beberapa wilayah lainnya di Jabar baru di beberapa lokasi tertentu. Artinya, jika skrining dilakukan secara menyeluruh, kasus yang ditemukan bisa lebih banyak dibanding data saat ini.
"Kota Bandung tergolong tinggi angkanya, paling tinggi. Tapi kan kalau kalau dilihat ini aktifnya di area lokalisasi. Kalau dilakukan (skrining) menyeluruh ke setiap rumah, ini angkanya bisa lebih tinggi," ujarnya.
Untuk di wilayah lain, kata dia, seperti Kota Depok yang tergolong masuk dalam daerah metropolitan. Kasus positif sifilis yang ditemukan, tergolong sedikit. Angkanya bisa dikatakan lebih rendah dibandingkan Kota Bandung.
"Depok dari 10.713 yang diperiksa hanya 3, Bekasi dari 8.548 itu 53. Kalau masalah tergolong kecil atau besar itu tergantung jumlah responden yang kita periksa," katanya.
Rochady menegaskan, penanganan penyakit kelamin Raja Singa ini terus dilakukan oleh pemerintah pusat, Pemprov Jabar, dan kabupaten kota. Menurutnya, obat untuk menyembuhkan penyakit ini juga telah tersedia di puskesmas masing-masing daerah tinggal masyarakat datang dan berobat.
"Obat tidak masalah di Puskesmas sudah ada, di RS juga ada. Kami di puskesmas sudah ada dengan sesuai dengan SOP karena kalau lihat data dari 3.188 yang tercatat itu yang berobat masih sekitar 1.570 orang," katanya.
