  • A total of 3,093 syphilis cases were diagnosed from 1991 to 2022, predominantly in MSM (64.5%).
  • Joinpoint regression revealed significant increases in syphilis cases among MSM and non-Italian born individuals (p < 0.01).
  • HIV prevalence was notably higher in MSM compared to other groups, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.
