Overview

Cohort study examines birth outcomes for expectant women with syphilis and HIV, highlighting low treatment rates.

  • In a cohort of 1204 women, 39.9% with syphilis and HIV experienced preterm deliveries compared to 30.0% with only syphilis.
  • Logistic regression revealed factors influencing adverse birth outcomes, indicating a need for improved treatment access.
  • Only 48.1% of women received documented Benzathine penicillin G treatment for syphilis during their pregnancy.
