Answer 2

The symptoms of syphilis depend on the stage of the infection. The stages of syphilis are:

Primary syphilis

A smooth, red, painless sore—or chancre—develops on a sex organ or in the mouth. (The sore also can develop on the inside the body, where it cannot be seen.) The sore goes away on its own in one to six weeks.
Secondary syphilis

After the chancre goes away, a pinkish, bumpy skin rash may appear on all or parts of the body.
Fever, sore throat, body aches, headache, loss of appetite or other flu-like symptoms may appear. These symptoms can be mild and can come and go over one to two years.
This stage is the most contagious of all stages. Approximately one-third of untreated individuals with primary syphilis will progress to this second stage. In secondary syphilis, the bacteria have spread in the bloodstream and have reached their highest numbers. Without treatment, up to one-third of patients will develop complications of late-stage syphilis.
Latent syphilis

With latent syphilis, the infection is not contagious but may affect the heart, brain, nerves, eyes, bones and other parts of the body.
Don’t be fooled by the mild warning signs. If you are worried about syphilis, get checked. Syphilis is a serious disease.

Is it true that a person with syphilis can't spread the infection?
No. A person with syphilis can spread the infection during the first two stages of the disease. If you come in contact with an open sore (first stage) or skin rash (second stage), you can pick up the bacteria that cause the infection. If the bacteria enter your body through an opening such as the penis, anus, vagina, mouth or broken skin, you can get syphilis.

If a person has had syphilis for more than two years (latent syphilis), it’s unlikely that he or she can spread the disease. Don’t take a chance. Use a condom and spermicide during sex.

How can I know if I have syphilis?
If you think you have syphilis, or any STD, contact your health care provider. He or she can examine you and perform tests to determine if you have an STD.

To check for syphilis, your health care provider:

Examines your sex organs for chancres.
Takes a sample of fluid from the chancre to look for the bacteria under a microscope.
Takes a small sample of blood. Signs of the infection may not show up in your blood for up to six weeks after you have been infected. You may need to return to the clinic to be retested.
