STD Rapid test kit Syphilis sexually transmitted disease (self test kit)

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a bacterium Treponema pallidum.

Anyone can get syphilis and many people who have syphilis are not aware that they are infected. You can have syphilis and don't notice any symptoms.

Syphilis can be treated and cured. If you do not get treated for syphilis, it can lead to serious health problems.

How does someone get syphilis?

Syphilis can be transmitted through unprotected anal and oral sex from an untreated partner or a new partner who is infected. Pregnant persons can pass it to their baby, even if you are not aware that you have been infected. If you had syphilis before, you can still get infected again.

What are the symptoms of syphilis?

Symptoms of syphilis are the same in every person. Syphilis has four stages: primary, secondary, latent and tertiary.
