摘要：

We surveyed infectious diseases consultants to determine how they manage syphilis when there are insufficient data to guide management or when guidelines cannot be followed because of a lack of available definitive diagnostic tests. Most providers did not have access to dark-field microscopy. We found variation in management of syphilis, especially for patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
