Syphilis is a sexual infection disease that in this increased in the last 10 years. A co-infection of HIV and syphilis appears to increase the risk of ocular manifestation. The ocular manifestation of the patients with a co infection HIV-Syphilis will present with unexplained visual complaint. I am presenting a case of an ocular syphilis in a patient HIV positive presented in the department of Ophthalmology in Mother Teresa Hospital.
