BACKGROUND
Focal outbreaks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as syphilis and gonorrhoea have been reported in the large cities of Western Europe over the past few years. The aim of our study was to determine whether a similar trend is observed in Geneva and the situation with regard to HIV infection.
METHODS
We review the incidence of syphilis, gonorrhoea, Chlamydia trachomatis and HIV in Geneva from 1999 to 2004.
RESULTS
Figures indicate a steady and sustained increase in the incidence of syphilis, gonorrhoea and Chlamydia trachomatis in Geneva since 1999 that is maintained into 2004. As for HIV, the number of positive testings in Switzerland has stabilised and primary infection figures do not indicate an increase in newly acquired infections in Geneva.
CONCLUSION
The situation in Geneva is similar to that observed elsewhere in Western Europe and indicates the need of public health interventions.
背景
在过去几年中，西欧的大城市报告了梅毒和淋病等性传播感染（STIs）的局部暴发。我们研究的目的是确定在日内瓦是否观察到类似趋势以及艾滋病病毒（HIV）感染情况。
方法
我们回顾了1999年至2004年日内瓦梅毒、淋病、沙眼衣原体和HIV的发病率。
结果
数据表明，自1999年以来，日内瓦梅毒、淋病和沙眼衣原体的发病率持续稳步上升，并一直持续到2004年。至于HIV，瑞士的阳性检测数量已趋于稳定，原发性感染数据并未表明日内瓦新感染病例有所增加。
结论
日内瓦的情况与西欧其他地方观察到的情况相似，表明需要采取公共卫生干预措施。
