Introduction: HIV infection has affected over 60 million people worldwide, increasing the risk of other infections that increase morbidity and mortality. Syphilis, herpes simplex type 2 and condylomata are common coinfections that modify the course of HIV, worsen health status of those who suffer it and lead to rapid deterioration that can sometimes be fatal.
Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of herpes simplex type 2 and syphilis, and the prevalence of condilomatosis in patients with HIV/AIDS in the Hospital Simon Bolívar in Bogotá in 2011.
Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 220 HIV positive patients consecutively selected in some departments of the institution.
Results: Prevalence of type 2 herpes was 64.9% and syphilis 43.2%. Found condilomatosis prevalence was 36%.
Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of syphilis, herpes and condilomatosis in HIV patients, thus it is necessary to develop sex education programs focused on the prevention of these diseases.
