Increase of infectious syphilis among heterosexuals in Amsterdam: its relationship to drug use and prostitution.

J A van den Hoek1, M M van der Linden, R A Coutinho.   

Abstract

Since 1986, an increase in heterosexually acquired syphilis cases has been seen in Amsterdam. The proportion of syphilis patients who reported using hard drugs, increased from 7% in 1985 to 23% in 1988, which was mainly due to increased numbers of addicted prostitute women with syphilis.
