摘要：This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of syphilis and the black female population in the five Brazilian geographic regions and in Brazil between 2010-2019. This is an ecological observational study that used secondary data provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and by the Department of Chronic Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections of the Ministry of Health. In the statistical treatment of the data, was used the software Jointpoint Regression Program version 3.3.1, to analyze trends in the established time frame. The results show that, although black and brown women represent almost half of the Brazilian female population, they do not have the same access to health care as white women. This fact generates inequities that, associated with racial discrimination, bring permanent consequences for the health of individuals and communities; and contribute to the adoption of inappropriate behaviors and to illness, increasing the possibility of occurrence of cases of infectious diseases, such as syphilis. In addition to this problem, there are non-conformities in the records on racial self-declaration of health. Thus, the proper completion of notification forms, as well as the elaboration and execution of public policies aimed at generating equity in health can contribute to the attenuation and confrontation of syphilis in the black population.
