A cross-sectional anonymous study of 261 STD (sexually transmitted diseases) outpatients and 288 outpatients from other hospital departments was conducted at four major city hospitals in Buenos Aires. High prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (14.5%) and syphilis (30.2%) was noted. Fifty-two persons were diagnosed with both HIV and syphilis. Of the 87 HIV cases observed, 52 (59.7%) were co-infected with syphilis. Stratified analysis by gender showed that the prevalence of HIV, syphilis and HIV/syphilis co-infection was significantly (p < 0.001) higher in men than women (HIV: 20.1% vs. 4.6%; syphilis: 39.3% vs. 17.4%; co-infection: 13.6% vs. 1.7%). Integrated HIV/STD intervention programs and more effective surveillance are required in Argentina.
在布宜诺斯艾利斯的四家主要城市医院,对261名性传播疾病(STD)门诊患者和288名来自其他医院科室的门诊患者进行了一项横断面匿名研究。发现人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)(14.5%)和梅毒(30.2%)的患病率很高。52人被诊断同时感染HIV和梅毒。在观察到的87例HIV病例中,52例(59.7%)同时感染梅毒。按性别进行的分层分析显示,男性中HIV、梅毒及HIV/梅毒合并感染的患病率显著高于女性(p < 0.001)(HIV:20.1%对4.6%;梅毒:39.3%对17.4%;合并感染:13.6%对1.7%)。阿根廷需要综合的HIV/STD干预项目和更有效的监测。
