“…In accordance with recent reports [17, 20, 25], the statistical analysis did not show a significant difference in prevalence between male and female populations (p = 0.224). This is contrast to previous studies in Morocco, as well as in most Arab countries, that often showed a gender dominance [10, 17, 21, 25].…”

“…In 2009, this region recorded the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the country (0.9%) [10]. Since then, few studies have been carried out in the area [9, 17, 21, 23-28]; most of them were especially focused on groups that carried a high-risk (female sex workers, men who have sex with men, drug users) [9, 17, 23]. These groups were the main population studied in relation to HIV epidemic in Morocco and elsewhere in the world, with heterosexual sex-worker networks being the largest of the three kinds of high-risk groups, followed by MSM, and then IDUs [10].…”

“…The overall incidence of syphilis in the world have increased in recent years [13-15], partially due to its association with HIV infection [16]; in particular high-risk groups of the population, including drug users (IDUs), female sex workers (FSWs) and men who have sex with men (MSM) [17-19]. The HIV is still a common causes of morbidity and mortality around the world, particularly in the developing countries [20, 21]. Interestingly, syphilis itself facilitates HIV infection in several ways and vice versa [22].…”

IntroductionHIV and syphilis are major public health problems in Morocco. The region of Souss-Massa, south-west of the country, hold more than 24% of HIV seropositive cases registered in Morocco during 2009. The aim of this study is to evaluate the seroprevalence of syphilis among HIV seropositive patients in the region of Souss-Massa, south-west of Morocco.MethodsTo evaluate the seroprevalence of syphilis and neurosyphilis among HIV seropositive patients, we retrospectively investigated the medical records of HIV-infected patients attending the regional hospital located in the city of Agadir, during the period comprised between 2011 and 2016.ResultsThe population studied involved 1381 males (49.18%) and 1427 females (50.82%) HIV seropositive patients. Among them, 481 patients were seropositive for syphilis and three cases were diagnosed with neurosyphilis. The sex ratio distribution was 243 male (52.71%) and 218 female (47.29%). The prevalence of syphilis among the studied population was estimated to 16.42% with a slight dominance in male (17.63%) compared to female (15.28%). By contrast, neurosyphilis was only detected in male patients, with a prevalence estimated to 0.11%.ConclusionEven if the prevalence of HIV and syphilis is stable in the region of Souss-Massa, the prevalence of syphilis among HIV seropositive patients remained high and correlated positively with that of HIV infection. We did not find a significant difference between the genders, in relation to the prevalence of HIV and syphilis. We concluded that it was essential to continue monitoring the population, in order to improve the prevention and the access to the medical care in the south-west of Morocco.

Awareness is a preventive action to instill in individuals certain concepts to improve their health. It is an essential element in the prevention of sexually transmitted infection (STI)/HIV and early pregnancies among adolescents. In 2012, the prevalence of HIVin Cameroon was estimated at 4.3%. The young population appear to be the most affected (3.2%); very close to that of the Dschang Health District (Cameroon; 3.1%) in the 15-19 years age group. Theaimof this study was to evaluate the contribution of the Mobile Caravan project on the preventive aspect of STI/HIV/AIDS among youths of Dschang in 10 secondary schools within three years. 2029 students joined the project’s activities and 58.55% of them belonged to the age group of 16-21 years. Most students attended private schools. Nearly 3/4 of students (1515/2029) had an acceptable level of knowledge regarding STI/HIV/AIDS, which increased in number each year (from 641 to 716 students between 2012 and 2014). The Level of knowledge was significantly determinedby the study cycle (P=0.0004), the type of school (P=0.0027) and the year ofimplementation of activities (P=0.0026). The caravan project has greatly contributed to improving young peoples’ awareness on STI/HIV/AIDSin Dschang Municipality.
