Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It often starts with painless sores or ulcers in the genital area, but if left untreated, it can progress through stages and cause serious health problems affecting the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics can cure syphilis completely. Regular STI screenings, safe sex practices, and open communication with your healthcare provider can help prevent the spread. Protect yourself and your partner — get tested, stay informed, and prioritize your health.
