Syphilis is a bacterial STI you can get through sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral), and there are multiple symptoms of Syphilis. Some are discreet, and others will let you know you have Syphilis.
SYMPTOMS of syphilis
- Red, firm, painless, sometimes wet sores on the vagina, rectum, penis or mouth
- Chancre
- Rash (If not treated)
- Flu-Like symptoms
- Latent Syphilis
- Numbness, difficulty walking, gradual blindness
But these symptoms and Syphilis itself can be cured.

the power of antibiotics
Penicillin is the only antibiotic that can cure Syphilis. Unless you are allergic to penicillin. Then you can take antibiotics like such as doxycycline, tetracycline, ceftriaxone, or azithromycin. But Syphilis is curable if you go to the doctor in the early stages. If you wait to long, it'll be permanent.

Age groups and Effects of the infected
Of course Syphilis is an STI anyone can get, but the age group that usually gets it more often are young adults, or men with a male sexual partner. And Syphilis affects people very much. Like listed below:
- Sickness, sores and rashes
The sickness, sores and rashes is the kind of things that make you suffer before Syphilis becomes permanent. Those kinds of things could make you realize that something is wrong.
- Permanently have Syphilis if not treated until one of the final stages
Like I said multiple times, if you don't go to a doctor and get Antibiotics or anything, you could have Syphilis permanently. Then antibiotics only get rid of symptoms, but they'll keep coming back.

Now, if you ever get Syphilis, I should tell you where and how to get antibiotics, and how to find out you have it. Well, if you see symptoms of Syphilis, go to your local doctor. If you have any Chancres, or any sores, the doctors will take the discharge from one and give you results. And if you come back positive, he will then prescribe you some antibiotics.
