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.
When a person has a syphilis infection, they are more likely to acquire HIV from an infected sexual partner. Syphilis can increase the chances of getting HIV by 2- to 3- fold. 2 One study showed a 4-fold increase in the chance of acquiring HIV in men who have sex with men and infected with syphilis. 3.n the early latent period, no symptoms may occur, but the infection is still present in the body. By this time, the infection has spread to many different parts of the body. Without treatment, the syphilis infection may progress to late latent syphilis, also known as tertiary syphilis.
