Key Points

Syphilis was the most common coinfection at 25.6%, followed by hepatitis B at 4.1% and hepatitis C at 1.8%.
Prevalence analysis indicated significant syphilis rates among males and HBV coinfection associated with older age.
This retrospective cross-sectional study used demographics and HIV viral load data from 724 patients to assess co-infection prevalence.
Highlighting gaps in diagnosis and treatment, findings suggest urgent improvements in screening and HBV vaccination efforts.
