Syphilis is spread from sexual skin-to-skin contact with someone who has it. You get it when your vulva, vagina, penis, anus, or mouth touches someone's syphilis sores â usually during sex. Syphilis can be spread even if no one cums. The main ways people get syphilis are from having vaginal sex and anal sex. It's less common to get it from having oral sex, but it can happen.
A syphilis infection is called an âearlyâ case if a patient has been infected for a year or less, such as during the primary or secondary stages of syphilis. People who have âearlyâ syphilis infections can more easily spread the infection to their sex partners. The majority of early syphilis cases are currently found among men who have sex with men, but women and unborn children are also at risk of infection.
