Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how syphilis infection affects the risk of HIV-RNA elevation in individuals living with HIV who had low viral load levels.
- The research involved 926 people with syphilis and a control group of 1,370 without, finding similar rates of HIV-RNA elevation in both groups.
- The results showed no significant link between syphilis infection and increased HIV-RNA levels, suggesting that syphilis does not impact the risk of HIV transmission in the studied population.
