Abstract: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and syphilis share the same route of transmission and similar high-risk population. Co-infection with AIDS and syphilis poses a more grave challenge for national public health and safety. The clinical manifestations of AIDS complicated with syphilis are complex, lacking specificity, which often makes it difficult to diagnose and leads to treatment delay. The objective of this study is to summarize the latest research progress in the incidence, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatments of co-infection with AIDS and syphilis, so as to deepen the clinicians’understanding of this disease.

Key words: Neurosyphilis, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Infection characteristics, Diagnosis, Treatment
