Primary Syphilis—Usually shows up two to six weeks after infection. In sexually transmitted syphilis, the first symptoms are ulcers at the site of exposure. They are generally painless, and therefore much harder to detect inside the vagina or anus than on the penis.
Secondary Syphilis—The immune system usually kicks in and clears primary symptoms, but it doesn’t cure the disease. In the secondary stage, you may experience fevers, skin lesions, mucosal lesions, and even hepatitis.
Latent Syphilis—The immune system can clear secondary symptoms and the infection reaches its next stage: latent Syphilis. Many people with latent Syphilis will never have symptoms again. Others can suffer severe complications including neurological problems, cardiovascular issues, and inflammatory masses. Syphilis can lead to death if left untreated.
