Abstract: Physicians are also responsible for the increase in sexually transmitted infections. We report a case of patient inadequately monitored, that shows the importance of physicians to take basic measures with any individual at risk of acquiring such infections. We propose the following mnemonic acrostic: PRO-LIVES (Protection: usual and proper codom use, Responsibility, Other orientations, Laboratory tests -HIV infection, syphilis and B and C hepatitis-, Immunization: B hepatitis vaccination, Various: at least two… Show more

Background: Sex without a condom has the highest risk of sexually transmitted infections among (STIs) female sex workers (FSWs). Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the evidence related to barriers to condom use among FSWs. Methods: We searched Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus using keywords such as “condom use” and “sex worker” and the related synonyms. The pooled effect size was expressed as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs using a random-effects model. Results: Of the 5,854 studies obtained in the initial search, 35 with a sample size of 14,218 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final analysis. Three factors identified in studies, i.e., marital status (OR=1.15; 95%CI [0.74, 1.50]), alcohol consumption (OR=1.22; 95%CI [0.84, 1.59]), and STIs knowledge (OR=1.07; 95%CI [0.54, 1.59]), were not significantly associated with not using condoms among FSWs. Also, 7 factors identified in studies, i.e., history of violence (OR=1.84; 95%CI [1.36, 2.31]), history of sexual abuse (OR=1.87; 95%CI [1.36, 2.38]), history of STIs (OR = 1.54; 95%CI [1.10, 1.97]), HIV risk perception (OR=1.81; 95% CI [1.58, 2.05]), knowledge of condom use (OR=1.53; 95%CI [1.15, 1.91]), drug use (OR=1.62; 95%CI [1.10, 2.14]), and condom use self-efficacy (OR=1.75; 95%CI [1.52, 1.98]), were significantly associated with not using condoms among FSWs. Conclusion: Many factors affect condom use among FSWs. However, in this study, the history of sexual abuse, history of violence, and HIV risk perception were identified as the main barriers to condom use among FSWs.

Introduction: Syphilis consists in a systemic infect contagious pathology with a chronic character. The etiological agent consists of an anaerobic spirochete bacterium, Treponema pallidum. Laboratory diagnosis can be made through a direct investigation of the etiologic agent or non-treponemal (VDRL) and treponemal (FTA-Abs) serological tests. False-negative results are rare. Objectives: The present report presents a rare case of a man with a secondary syphilis syndrome who was initially undiagnosed due to the prozone effect, since he presented VDRL in low titers, and was later confirmed with a new diluted serum sample and VDRL and FTA-Abs, which were positive. Conclusion: A close look should be given to patients who, although the clinical condition is compatible, complementary exams may not be, and clinical cases should be carefully evaluated so that the patient is not treated late.
