    Objective: To report the case of a pregnant, Venezuelan migrant woman, diagnosed with secondary syphilis and HIV coinfection. Materials and Methods: A review of the related literature was carried out, identifying the importance of the case in the current migration situation. Case presentation: A 22-year-old woman with a pregnancy of 20.6 weeks, without prenatal check-ups, consulted due to the appearance of skin lesions of 3 months of evolution. Secondary syphilis was diagnosed, antibiotic treatment was started, and the patient was referred to the primary care service for the migrant population. Subsequently, HIV coinfection was diagnosed. The infectious disease service indicated antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, treatment was not started due to her illegal migrant status. After 3 months, the patient consulted for pelvic pain. It was decided to end the pregnancy via cesarean section and to perform tubal ligation. Preoperative prophylaxis was implemented. A female product was obtained in which congenital syphilis was ruled out and which was considered of low risk for HIV infection. Conclusion: The incidence of gestational syphilis in Venezuelan patients who have migrated to Colombia has increased markedly. Public health policies must be established to facilitate access to health services and STD prevention programs in this population.Objetivo: Reportar el caso de una gestante, migrante de nacionalidad venezolana, diagnosticada con s铆filis secundaria y coinfecci贸n por VIH.Materiales y M茅todos: Se realiz贸 revisi贸n de la literatura relacionada, identificando la importancia del caso en la situaci贸n de migraci贸n actual.Presentaci贸n del caso: Mujer de 22 a帽os con embarazo de 20,6 semanas, sin controles prenatales, consulta por lesiones cut谩neas de 3 meses de evoluci贸n.
