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.
Secondary syphilis â In this stage, syphilis bacteria spread throughout the body. This usually causes a rash over most of the body along with fever, aches and pains, and other symptoms. This stage begins six to eight weeks after a person is exposed to syphilis, and it lasts up to one year. Latent syphilis â This stage begins when the secondary stage ends. Although there are no symptoms, the person remains infected. This stage can last for many years, even for the rest of a person's life.
