Persistent and co-occurring sexual risk behaviors after syphilis diagnosis in primary health care users in Brazil: A cross-sectional descriptive study
= 0.032).ConclusionsIn this Primary Health Care setting, inconsistent condom-use and substance-use frequently persisted and co-occurred after syphilis diagnosis. These findings suggest that post-diagnosis vulnerability extends beyond individual behavior and highlight the importance of longitudinal and equity-oriented Primary Health Care strategies beyond diagnosis and treatment alone.
