August 2022 in “MEDICINUS” A 22-year-old homosexual man presented with symptoms including red scaly patches, hair loss, and genital lumps, leading to a diagnosis of coinfection with secondary syphilis, condyloma acuminata, and HIV.

Histopathology confirmed skin syphilis and condyloma acuminata, with immunohistochemistry showing Spirochaeta.
