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.
People who are being treated for syphilis must abstain from sexual contact until the infection is completely gone. Sexual partners of people with syphilis should be tested and, if necessary, treated. What if Syphilis Is not Treated? If syphilis is left untreated, it can cause serious and permanent problems such as dementia, blindness, or death.
