Specific of the HIV-infection epidemiology, combined with syphilis

Abstract

Literature review devoted to the specific of co-infection of HIV/syphilis. Since the beginning of the third millennium, the frequency sexually-transmitted infections, on the background of apparent stagnation of HIV infection pandemic process, in the world have tends to increase, and for some infections - especially syphilis - to revive. HIV/syphilis co-infection in epidemic terms is the complicated and dangerous combination: Syphilis significantly increase the risk of HIV infection and HIV may affect the natural course of the syphilis epidemic. However, despite the significant progress in the study of HIV/syphilis co-infection the question of influence of syphilis on the progression of HIV infection is still debated. Because of the high rates of co-infection, early diagnosis of syphilis in HIV-infected patients require to improve the preventive and antiepidemic measures for the reducing of the burden of syphilis, and for the risk of sexual transmission of HIV
