What is syphilis? Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause serious health problems without treatment. Infection develops in stages (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). Each stage can have different signs and symptoms.
Many people don’t know they have syphilis because symptoms can be mild or go unnoticed.
💡 That’s why regular testing is so important, especially if you're sexually active with new or multiple partners.
