Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of T. pallidum infection markers in HIV-positive individuals receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the Mexico City HIV/AIDS Program, as well as predictive characteristics. Methods: The reverse serologic algorithm method was used for the T. pallidum diagnosis, and applied to 2,383 HIV-positive individuals. Socio-demographic characteristics, sexual practices, previous syphilis diagnosis, and length of antiretroviral treatment, were evaluated. Variables significantly associated with syphilis markers were analyzed using a logistic regression model. Results: Prevalence of “active or resolved” and “probable active” infection markers were 44.2% and 28.8%, respectively. Predictive factors were: Clinic Specialized Condesa Iztapalapa (CECI), previous syphilis diagnosis, MSM, and receptive sex practices. Conclusions: The prevalence of T. pallidum infection markers was the highest ever reported in Mexico, and was related to specific sexual practices as well as previous syphilis diagnosis, elements which require preventive measures in the Mexico City HIV/AIDS Program.

Abstract

OBJETIVO: Identificar sitios de encuentro de nuevas parejas sexuales en dos ciudades de la frontera sur de México. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: En un estudio epidemiológico descriptivo se encuestó, en mayo de 2001, a informantes clave de la comunidad en dos ciudades fronterizas del sur de México para identificar sitios de encuentro de nuevas parejas. Se visitó cada sitio reportado y se encuestó a una persona del lugar. De una submuestra de sitios, se encuestó a personas que socializaban en los mismos. RESULTADOS: Los informantes clave de la comunidad reportaron 134 sitios en Chetumal y 111 en Ciudad Hidalgo. Se obtuvo información de las características de 89 sitios en Chetumal y 42 en Ciudad Hidalgo, ambos con escasas actividades preventivas del VIH/SIDA. Cerca de 21% de usuarios encuestados reportaron haber conocido una nueva pareja en los sitios en las últimas cuatro semanas. CONCLUSIONES: Son necesarias acciones de prevención en los sitios de encuentro de nuevas parejas sexuales. Este método puede proveer información para planificar futuras intervenciones.OBJECTIVE: To identify the meeting sites of new sexual partners in two Southern border cities in Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive epidemiologic study was carried out in May 2001, by surveying key informants in two border cities. Each reported site was visited to interview a resident subject. Subjects socializing in a subsample of sites were also interviewed. RESULTS: The key informants of the community reported 134 meeting sites in Chetumal and 111 in Ciudad Hidalgo. Both sites had scarce HIV/AIDS prevention activities. Characteristics were obtained for 89 sites in Chetumal and 42 in Ciudad Hidalgo. Almost 21% of interviewees reportedly met a new sexual partner in these sites in the past four weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Preventive actions are needed in meeting sites of new sexual partners. This method may provide information to plan for future interventions.

Evaluar las prevalencias de marcadores de infec-cion por T. pallidum en personas que viven con VIH y reciben tratamiento antirretroviral en el Programa de VIH/SIDA de la Ciudad de Mexico, asi como sus caracteristicas asociadas. Material y metodos. Se siguio el metodo del algoritmo reverso para el diagnostico de T. pallidum aplicado a 2 383 individuos VIH positivos, quienes contestaron un cuestionario sobre caracteristicas sociodemograficas, practicas sexuales, diagnostico previo de sifilis y tiempo de tratamiento anti-rretroviral. Las variables significativamente asociadas con los marcadores de sifilis se analizaron mediante un modelo de regresion logistica. Resultados. Las prevalencias de marcadores de infeccion “activa o resuelta” y “probable-mente activa” fueron 44.2 y 28.8%, respectivamente. Las caracteristicas asociadas con los marcadores fueron Clinica Especializada Condesa Iztapalapa (CECI), diagnostico previo de infeccion por sifilis, hombres que tienen sexo con hom-bres (HSH) y practicas sexuales receptivas.
