Many people around the world are secretly suffering from syphilis but still millions of people don’t know how it is transmitted.

Syphilis is among the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Syphilis is caused by a bacterium called trumplenemaparidum.

Syphilis in women can cause late miscarriages because it affects the womb and can cause intra-uterine foetal death.

Congenital syphilis may occur during pregnancy or at birth, although most infants are born without its symptoms.

Primary syphilis is typically acquired through direct sexual contacts with lesions of another person.

Syphilis can be treated especially when it is started early enough but at the same time it can be deadly.
