Abstract

The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and should contain at least 70 and at most 200 wor. The interaction between syphilis and HIV infection is complex and a dangerous combinations. Atypical nontreponemal serologic test results (i.e., unusually high, unusually low, or fluctuating titers) might occur regardless of HIV-infection status. Despite several advances in the understanding of the interaction between HIV infection and syphilis achieved during the past few years, the clinical treatment of coinfected patients remains challenging. Clinically relevant differences in presentation, diagnosis, and management strategies must be recognized by clinicians. The present communication describes two different cases of secondary syphilis and HIV co-infection in young men, which shows difference in clinical manifestation and serological response after treatment.
