Syphilis is a highly contagious disease that’s mostly spread through s*xual activity, including oral and a**l s*x. The infected person often doesn’t know that they have the disease and passes it on to their s*xual partner.
Syphilis was once a major public health threat. It can cause serious long-term problems such as arthritis, brain damage, and blindness. There wasn’t an effective treatment until the late 1940s, when the antibiotic penicillin was developed.
According to the CDC, the rate of new cases of syphilis plummeted in the 1990s. In 2000, it reached an all-time low since reporting began in 1941. But the disease has been on the increase ever since. The rate of syphilis in the United States increased 71% from 2014 to 2018.
Syphilis Causes
Syphilis is caused by the bacteriaTreponema pallidum. You get it through direct contact with a syphilis sore on someone else’s body. This usually happens during s*xual activity, but the bacteria can also get into your body through cuts on your skin or through your mucous membranes.
Syphilis can’t be spread by toilet seats, doorknobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.
Syphilis Risk Factors
You’re at higher risk of getting syphilis if you:
Have unprotected s*x
Have multiple s*x partners
Have HIV
Are a man who has s*x with men
Syphilis Symptoms
Syphilis infection has three stages:
Early or primary syphilis. People with primary syphilis get one or more sores called chancres. They’re usually small, painless ulcers. They happen on your ge****ls, on your a**s or re**um, or in or around your mouth between 10 and 90 days (3 weeks on average) after you’re exposed to the disease. Even if you don’t treat them, they heal without a scar within 6 weeks. But treatment will keep your disease from moving to the next stage.
Secondary syphilis. This stage begins 6 weeks to 6 months after you’re exposed. It may last 1 to 3 months. People with secondary syphilis usually get a rosy "copper penny" rash on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. They may also have different rashes on other parts of their body. These may look like rashes caused by other diseases. People may have moist, wart-like lesions in their groin, white patches on the inside of their mouth, swollen lymph glands, fever, hair loss, and weight loss. As with primary syphilis, symptoms of secondary syphilis will get better without treatment.
