Syphilis Symptoms

Syphilis prevention is extremely important. Syphilis is

divided into three stages: primary, secondary and latent or tertiary syphilis.

These stages are determined by clinical findings, such as tests and physical

exams, which are used to guide correct treatment and follow-up.

Syphilis is a curable condition and can be treated with

antibiotics, especially in the early stages. But without treatment, it can lead

to disability, neurological disorders, and even death.

Syphilis

Symptoms typically occur six weeks to 6 months after the chancre

(lesion), and clears up in two to ten weeks WITHOUT treatment; however,

syphilis is still there.

If you have syphilis, you should not have sex until all sex

partners have been tested and treated!!
