The incidence of syphilis has increased since the 1970s.
This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample.
Of 973 patients with human immunodeficiency virus, 179 (18.4%) tested positive for both human immunodeficiency virus and syphilis, 84.8% were men, 50.9% were aged between 36 and 50 years, 47.8% with syphilis were diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus for 10-20 years, and 40.3% received antiretroviral therapy for 10-20 years.
The prevalence of syphilis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus is higher than expected, making it urgent to adopt efficient public health measures.
自20世纪70年代以来，梅毒的发病率有所上升。
这是一项采用非概率抽样的描述性和分析性横断面研究。
在973例人类免疫缺陷病毒患者中，179例（18.4%）人类免疫缺陷病毒和梅毒检测均呈阳性，84.8%为男性，50.9%年龄在36至50岁之间，47.8%的梅毒患者在感染人类免疫缺陷病毒10至20年后被诊断出梅毒，40.3%接受抗逆转录病毒治疗10至20年。
人类免疫缺陷病毒患者中梅毒的患病率高于预期，因此迫切需要采取有效的公共卫生措施。
