Syphilis

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the Treponema pallidum bacterium. It spreads through direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. These sores typically form on the genitals, rectum, lips, or mouth. People who have unprotected sex or multiple sexual partners are at higher risk. Syphilis is highly contagious in its primary and secondary stages and may also be transmitted during the early latent stage through unprotected contact.

If left untreated, syphilis can lead to serious long-term health problems. It increases the risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV and, in women, can cause severe complications during pregnancy, including miscarriage or congenital syphilis in newborns. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing these outcomes.
