Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria. It infects the genital area, lips, mouth, or anus of both men and women. You usually get syphilis from sexual contact with someone who has it. It can also pass from mother to baby during pregnancy.

The early stage of syphilis usually causes a single, small, painless sore. Sometimes it causes swelling in nearby lymph nodes. If you do not treat it, syphilis usually causes a non-itchy skin rash, often on your hands and feet. Many people do not notice symptoms for years. Symptoms can go away and come back.

The sores caused by syphilis make it easier to get or give someone HIV during sex. If you are pregnant, syphilis can cause birth defects, or you could lose your baby. In rare cases, syphilis causes serious health problems and even death.

Syphilis is easy to cure with antibiotics if you catch it early. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading syphilis.

United States admits scientists injected Guatemalans with sexually transmitted diseases Using non-whites as guinea pigs well nothing new there. The United States government has made the shocking admission that its 1940s-era scientists deliberately infected Guatemalans with sexually transmitted diseases - and even gave a dying woman syphilis.

Voting Question: Would like some ideas for how to proceed for treatment, any ideas? (Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:45:22 GMT)
Hey, to start off with a little information about myself, I'm 20 years old and currently reside in the Netherlands. I moved here about 6 months ago from the United States. It's important to note, that I very rarely drink, and I hadn't been drinking at all around the time the tests were done. Nor had I been using illicit drugs, smoking, etc. I've had chronic pains for almost as long as I can remember. Although chronic pain has definitely made me less active than I should be, I am not obese.

(They are still around in exactly the same form) About two weeks ago I noticed a small red spot begin to grow on my penis, and ignored it due to my hope that it was a mere skin condition that will go away, and now it does appear to be gradually receding. I nevertheless looked it up, and it sounded close to a primary stage of Syphilis. Only a few

In March of this year I was raped. I went to the doctor to get STD blood work done. I was verbally told by the doctor that my lab came back clean. Last Friday I got a call from a health department stating that the test I took 8 MONTHS AGO tested positive for Syphilis. I explained that the lab work had come back clean that day (including the work that was sent off) and that there was no way I could have it. He recommended I go get another test done.
