Reports from State University of New York (SUNY) Highlight Recent Findings in HIV/AIDS (Contribution of Syphilis To Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes In People Living With and Without Hiv In South Brazil: 2008 To 2018).

A recent report from the State University of New York (SUNY) highlights the impact of syphilis coinfection on pregnancy outcomes in people living with HIV in South Brazil from 2008 to 2018. The study found that syphilis coinfection worsened adverse infant outcomes, such as preterm birth and low birth weight, in pregnant individuals with HIV. Effective syphilis treatment and HIV viral load suppression were identified as crucial for optimal obstetric care. This research underscores the importance of addressing syphilis coinfection in pregnant individuals with HIV to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
