A study conducted at 'Andreas Sygros' Hospital in Athens, Greece, found that there was a significant increase in early syphilis cases during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the pandemic. The study specifically noted an increase in cases among men who have sex with men and patients with multiple sexual partners. Similar increases in syphilis cases have been observed in the United States and Japan, with men who have sex with men being disproportionately affected. The authors of the study suggest that the rise in cases may be attributed to the increased use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and reduced access to care during the pandemic. They recommend implementing preventive measures targeting high-risk groups to address this trend. [Extracted from the article] |
