Abstract
Because of the immunologic dysfunction of HIV-infected patients, concomitant infection with T. pallidum requires that maximal doses of appropriate antibiotics be given, and the expected falls in nontreponemal antibody titer cannot be relied upon to certify a cure. Genital ulcer disease appears to increase the risk of acquiring HIV. Therefore, all HIV-infected persons and persons with syphilis should be tested for both syphilis and HIV.
