What should I do if I have syphilis?


  • Avoid having any sexual activity while you are being treated for syphilis. Don’t have sexual contact until the syphilis sores are completely healed.
  • Be sure to tell your sexual partners, so they can be tested and treated if necessary.
  • After you have completed treatment for syphilis, get retested after six months and 12 months. Some doctors recommend more frequent follow-up tests.
