Medical doctors are saying that this disease can be contagious during the primary and secondary stages and, occasionally, the early latent phase. Tertiary syphilis is not contagious, but it has the most severe symptoms.
The first stage involves a painless sore on the genitals, rectum or mouth. After the initial sore heals, the second stage is characterized by a rash. Then, there are no symptoms until the final stage which may occur years later. This final stage can result in damage to the brain, nerves, eyes or heart.
This rash is usually not itchy and may be accompanied by wartlike sores in your mouth or genital area. Some people also experience hair loss, muscle aches, a fever, a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. These signs and symptoms may disappear within a few weeks or repeatedly come and go for as long as a year.
The primary stage of syphilis occurs about three to four weeks after a person contracts the bacteria. It begins with a small, round sore called a chancre. A chancre is painless, but it’s highly infectious.
Syphilis that remains untreated for a long time can cause major damage to important organs, like the heart, kidney and brain.
This disease is not only spread through making love with infected person, but also through sharing a toilet with another person, wearing another person’s clothing, or using another person’s eating utensils.
The first sign of syphilis is a small, painless sore in private parts or any other parts of the body. Syphilis signs and symptoms can also be detected on the rectum, or inside the mouth.
