“…30 Identificou-se, também, que o uso de drogas injetáveis aumenta em 60% as chances de infecção por sífilis. 31 Sugere-se que o uso de substâncias psicoativas, lícitas e ilícitas, restrinja o uso de preservativo e de outros comportamentos protetivos em relação à pratica sexual, deixando o indivíduo mais vulnerável a essa infecção.
