We found no statistically significant differences in serological response to treatment with doxycycline or benzathine penicillin among HIV-infected patients with early, late latent or latent syphilis of unknown duration. Our findings suggest that doxycycline is an acceptable treatment to HIV-infected patients with nontertiary stages of syphilis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
