Syphilis is a bacterial STD, so it is curable with medication, unlike viral STDs like herpes, HPV, hepatitis, and HIV.
Antibiotics effectively treat syphilis during any stage. Antibiotic treatment cannot reverse the damage caused by complications of late-stage syphilis, but it can prevent further complications from developing.
Penicillin is the preferred drug for treating syphilis. Other antibiotics (such as ceftriaxone) may also be considered.

Syphilis can be cured if you catch it in the early stages. Make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. If it's in the early stage, it can be treated with antibotics such as pencillian. However, if you ignore the symptoms and don't get proper medical treatment until later in the game, this disease can cause serious damage to your nervous system, heart and brain, eventually causing death. You can check out this information on the Internet.

Penicillin. Once you have syphilis, it will always show up in a blood test, although you don't have the disease. If you think you have this dreaded disease, go to a Dr. or a health clinic or health department. You can normally be treated free of charge at the health department.

Syphilis, thank God, is curable if you catch it before it's long-term. A good round of antibiotics will take care of it. Go to the doctor NOW !

syphilis can be cured if you catch it in time, but if you wait to long I'm sorry, you should definitely see a doctor.

if syphilis is not treated within the first two chancres, or ugly blisters, i think several years down the road it will attack an organ and you will die...you probably need to be tested asap
