100% Private Syphilis Treatment

Syphilis remains one of the more commonly reported sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. Because symptoms can be mild, temporary, or completely absent, many people do not realize they are infected. Understanding how syphilis is transmitted, how it progresses, and how it is treated is essential for protecting both individual and public health.

What Is Syphilis?

Syphilis is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Treponema pallidum. What makes syphilis unique is that it develops in distinct stages, and symptoms may temporarily disappear, even though the infection remains active in the body.

Because symptoms can come and go, many people delay testing or assume the infection has resolved. Without treatment, syphilis can cause serious, long-term damage to the heart, brain, nerves, and other organs.
