is syphillis curable?

Answer 1

The treatment of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is complex. If taken properly, antibiotic treatment with penicillin will usually cure a syphilis infection. If syphilis has progressed to the tertiary stage, antibiotics can prevent further complications, but they cannot reverse damage that has already occurred. Prompt antibiotic treatment will decrease complications and prevent the spread of the infection.

Penicillin is the antibiotic most commonly used to treat syphilis. Penicillin is usually given as a shot (injection).

If you are allergic to penicillin, your health professional may prescribe another antibiotic, such as doxycycline, tetracycline, ceftriaxone, or azithromycin, for the earlier stages of syphilis. Later stages of syphilis may require treatment with penicillin.

Treatment with penicillin cures most cases of syphilis in any stage. Antibiotics prevent further complications of syphilis but may not reverse damage that has already occurred.

Exposed sex partners should be treated for syphilis. Since the chancres in syphilis can make transmission of HIV more likely, testing for both syphilis and HIV should be done.

Answer 3

Syphilis is easy to cure in its early stages. A single intramuscular injection of penicillin, an antibiotic, will cure a person who has had syphilis for less than a year. Additional doses are needed to treat someone who has had syphilis for longer than a year. For people who are allergic to penicillin, other antibiotics are available to treat syphilis. There are no home remedies or over-the-counter drugs that will cure syphilis. Treatment will kill the syphilis bacterium and prevent further damage, but it will not repair damage already done. Persons who receive syphilis treatment must abstain from sexual contact with new partners until the syphilis sores are completely healed. Persons with syphilis must notify their sex partners so that they also can be tested and receive treatment if necessary.
