PG  - 11-6
AB  - An ongoing resurgence of syphilis and continued transmission of other common 
      sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in HIV-infected patients is fueled by a 
      number of factors, including "prevention burnout" resulting from fatigue with 
      long-term, safer-sex behavior, use of recretional drugs (notably 
      methamphetamine), and false sense of security associated with HIV serosorting and 
      elevated CD4+ cell count. Annual screening for common STDs is recommended for 
      HIV-infected patients. Issues in syphilis and herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) 
      diagnosis and treatment are discussed. New problems are briefly reviewed, which 
      include the increased reporting of lymphogranuloma venereum and the increased 
      frequency of fluoroquinolone-resistant gonorrhea. The recently revised Centers 
      for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for treatment of syphilis, HSV-2 
      infection, chlamydial infection, and gonorrhea are summarized. This article 
      summarizes a presentation on syphilis and other STDs made by Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, 
      MPH, at the International AIDS Society-USA Continuing Medical Education course in 
      New York, in October 2006. The original presentation is available as a Webcast at 
      www.iasusa.org.
