No. Neither syphilis or HPV can be spread by blood.
The ONLY STDs that can be spread by blood are HIV and hepatitis.
Syphilis and HPV are spread by sex (oral, anal and vaginal) and by DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area (syphilis sores and warts).
They can both also be spread from a mother to her baby during birth.

Syphillis, yes it can infact be transmitted via blood.
HPV, no. Well technically, its irrelevant because it cant cause disease via blood. HPV is an epidermal viral infection.
