In a conversation with the Feníx Multiplatform, he confirmed that there is a very worrying number of new HIV tests that are positive for syphilis. He stressed that in the controls they carry out, a reagent is used that is used for both diseases. He also stated that this disease occurs in the age group of 15 to 40 years mainly, predominating in early age in women and in older age in men.
He stressed that in La Rioja there are more than a thousand confirmed cases of syphilis, but he affirms that this disease is cured by itself but following a strict treatment. He affirms that there is a noticeable relaxation in society throughout the country with the issue of preventing sexually transmitted diseases, lowering the interest in all young people. He affirmed that this type of disease increased during the pandemic.
He stressed that this disease is curable, but if a person does not treat it as directed by their doctor, they will have very serious consequences.
