CVS is a retail pharmacy chain that operates in the United States and Canada. It is the largest pharmacy chain in the United States, with over 2,500 stores.
In 2017, CVS announced that it would stop selling tobacco products.
CVS has been criticized in the past for not treating STDs effectively. In January 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning to health care providers that CVS may not be providing adequate treatment for syphilis infections.
The CDC warned health care providers that CVS may be failing to follow proper treatment guidelines for syphilis, and that patients who seek care at CVS may be at risk for serious health complications.
There is no evidence that CVS is systematically refusing to treat STDs. However, the CDC’s warning is an indication that CVS may not be providing adequate treatment for syphilis infections.
