This week is and sometimes questions are hard to ask so we are spending this week having the difficult conversations that some folks have a hard time having in a healthcare setting.
Syphilis is a common STD. It often does not show any symptoms. Left untreated, it can cause permanent damage, like blindness or paralysis. Once diagnosed, it is easily cured with antibiotics.
Syphilis is transmitted from skin-to-skin contact through va**nal and a**l s*x. It is less common – but still possible – to get it from oral s*x.
A mother can also pass syphilis to a baby during pregnancy and childbirth if the mother has it and is not treated.
When used consistently and correctly, condoms protect against syphilis and many other STDs.
Like most STDs, syphilis often does not show symptoms. The only way to know is to get tested.
There are several stages of syphilis and symptoms can vary with each stage. In the primary stage, symptoms may include sores on the v***a, va**na, a**s, p***s, sc***um, or mouth, but many people do not notice or have sores. Syphilis sores (called a chancre) are usually firm, round, and painless, or sometimes open and wet.
In the secondary stage, symptoms often include a rash – which can be hard to see and usually does not itch. You may feel sick and have mild flu-like symptoms, like a slight fever, tiredness, sore throat, swollen glands, headache, and muscle aches.
This week is and sometimes questions are hard to ask so we are spending this week having the difficult conversations that some folks have a hard time having in a healthcare setting.
Gonorrhea is a common STD, especially among teens and people in their 20s. Sometimes called “the clap” or “the drip.” Gonorrhea may not show symptoms. Left untreated, it can cause infertility and pain in both women and men. Once diagnosed, it is easily cured with antibiotics.
