Syphilis Screening & Tests
Syphilis is a bacterial infection. It's relatively uncommon in the UK, although the number of people who get the disease has increased over the last 10 years.
The first sign of syphilis in the 'primary stage' is a painless sore or lump usually found on or near your genitals, mouth or anus - wherever you were first infected. This can develop between nine and 90 days after you were infected. In the secondary stage of the illness you may feel generally unwell with flu-like symptoms and a rash. This may occur around four to eight weeks after the lump or sore first appeared.
These symptoms may gradually clear up but it's important to treat syphilis as soon as possible. Over time it can cause major health problems, such as damage to your heart, respiratory system and nervous system.
Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics in tablet form or as an injection.
