Among 8455 people engaged in HIV care in 4 US cities, 4925 (58%) had treponemal testing at care entry. Of the 4925 tested, 3795 (77%) had a nonreactive result and might benefit from the reverse algorithm for a future incident syphilis diagnosis. Furthermore, low-barrier treponemal testing as a first step in the reverse algorithm may increase syphilis screening and decrease time to treatment.
在 4 个美国城市参与 HIV 护理的 8455 人中,有 4925 人(58%)在护理开始时进行了梅毒检测。在 4925 名接受检测的人中,有 3795 人(77%)结果为阴性,可能受益于反向算法,以便将来诊断梅毒感染。此外,作为反向算法第一步的低门槛梅毒检测可能会增加梅毒筛查,并减少治疗时间。
