Why Get Tested for Syphilis?

Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and preventing complications

Untreated syphilis can cause serious damage to the heart, brain, and other organs over time.

Testing helps prevent transmission to sexual partners. Treatment stops the spread.

Protect Pregnancy

Syphilis can be passed to unborn babies. Testing is essential for pregnant women.

Common Questions About Syphilis

How is syphilis transmitted?

Through direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can also be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy.

Can syphilis be cured?

Yes, syphilis is completely curable with appropriate antibiotic treatment. Early treatment is most effective.

How soon after exposure should I test?

Testing is recommended 3-6 weeks after exposure. However, if you have symptoms, test immediately. Early syphilis may not show up immediately on tests.

Can I get syphilis again after treatment?

Yes, having syphilis once does not protect you from getting it again. You can be reinfected if exposed in the future.

Does syphilis go away on its own?

No. While symptoms may disappear, the infection remains in your body and can cause serious health problems years later.

Is syphilis testing painful?

No, it's a simple blood test. The process takes just a few minutes with minimal discomfort.
