Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study of websites containing information about syphilis and gonorrhea, by accessing this population through a Google. The quality was studied by using 8 variables belonging to DQ and 7 variables of the VI. Results: A total of 440 active websites mainly belonging to mass media and private entities was assessed. The fulfllment of DQ gave the following results: Mean 3.46±0.07, median 4 and range from 0 to 7. The VI result was: median 4.07±0.09, median 4 and range from 0 to 7. According to the search athwart syphilis or gonorrhea, the contrast of the median of the two indicators was: 3.55 vs 3.37 p=0.181 and 4.14 vs 4.00 p=0.442. No correlation was verifed amid the data of DQ and VI (R=0.04); p=0.368. Similarly, no signifcance was observed when segregating data by disease, in the case of syphilis R=-0.03; p=0.625 and on gonorrhea R=0.12; p=0.064. Conclusions: The DQ and VI bestowed low outcomes, which implies poor quality of syphilis and gonorrhea websites. According to infection (syphilis or gonorrhea), there were no meaningful diferences amid the median values of the two indicators. Being acquainted with the authorship and afliation of a website and the fact that it is tied to a prestigious web may be a factor to be deemed when predicting the VI of a website. The correlation amid the two indicators did not demonstrate an association, thus, knowing the DQ does not imply having the security of an adequate VI.
