Article Synopsis
- Syphilis is increasingly affecting vulnerable populations globally, and a study conducted from 2011 to 2015 at an HIV clinic in Mexico assessed its prevalence and incidence among various high-risk groups.
- The study analyzed data from nearly 82,000 individuals, finding a seroprevalence of syphilis ranging from 8.2% to 37.0% in different groups, with the incidence being highest among people living with HIV (PLWH) at 16.0 cases per 100 person-years.
- The research also identified risk factors like methamphetamine use, group sex, and online partner contact, indicating an urgent need for improved prevention and treatment strategies to combat syphilis's resurgence.
