Document Summary
Multiple stages, tertiary associated with neurological symptoms; congenital syphilis. Primary syphilis first stage, painless sores (chancres) form about 2-3 weeks post exposure then disappear 4-6 weeks. Secondary syphilis occurs about 2-8 weeks after the first sores form. About 33% of those with untreated primary syphilis develop this second stage. Tertiary syphilis is the final stage of untreated syphilis, infection spreads to the brain, nervous system, heart, skin, and bones. Reported rates of infectious syphilis by sex and overall, 1993 to 2008, canada. Maybe increasing due to safe sex fatigue (over talking about safe sex) Reported rates of gonorrhea by sex and overall, 1991-2008, canada. Reported rates of chlamydia by sex and overall, 1991-2008, canada. Antiretroviral treatments can manage it but the virus is still there. For herpes, drugs prevent outbreaks and minimize your chances of infecting your partner. Untreated stis (gonorrhea, chlamydia) may result in scarring of the fallopian tubes and permanent sterility (inability to become pregnancy)
