What is Syphilis and How is it Treated?
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that progresses through stages if untreated:
- Primary syphilis causes a painless sore at the infection
- Secondary syphilis causes body rash and flu-like symptoms.
- Latent syphilis shows no signs, but the bacteria remains in the body.
- Tertiary syphilis causes severe medical problems years after infection.
The good news?
Syphilis is preventable and treatable with antibiotics like penicillin. Early diagnosis leads to better treatment outcomes.

Should I Get Tested After Every Partner?
Regular STI testing is recommended for sexually active individuals, regardless of relationship status. Frequency should be based on individual risk factors, such as the number of partners and protection use.
Testing is important after a high-risk encounter, like unprotected sex with a new or unknown STI status partner. Even in long-term relationships, testing is advised since STIs can be transmitted within monogamous partnerships. It’s a responsible part of sexual health and provides peace of mind.
What is the Difference Between an STD and an STI?
An STI is a sexually transmitted infection with no symptoms, while an STD is a sexually transmitted disease with symptoms or a more serious health condition. Every STD starts as an STI, but not all STIs become STDs.
Can You Have an STD and Not an STI?
Every STD starts as an STI, so you can’t have an STD without an STI. However, it’s possible to have an STI without it becoming an STD, especially if it’s detected and treated early.
What STD Takes the Longest to Show Up?
Some STDs can take a long time to show symptoms, like syphilis and genital herpes, which can go unnoticed for several years. The incubation period for STIs varies, and it can be days, weeks, or even years before symptoms appear.
Where can I get tested for syphilis?
You can get tested and treated for syphilis at your primary care physician or gynecologist. For quick testing, Z Med Clinic offers walk-in STI screenings at all locations. Our staff will explain testing options, collect lab samples, and have you on your way in 30 minutes.
What are three symptoms of common STDs?
Common STD symptoms:
- Sores, bumps, or rashes around genitals or mouth.
- Unusual discharge or bleeding from vagina/penis
- Painful urination or bowel movements
- Flu-like symptoms: fever, fatigue, and body aches
- Itching, swelling, redness in genital area
These symptoms can be caused by STDs like syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, genital warts, and more. Many STDs don’t show symptoms initially but can still be transmitted.
Regular testing for STDs is important to detect and treat infections early.
At Z Med Clinic, our medical staff are experts at identifying STD symptoms, providing testing and treatment. Take control of your sexual health – schedule a confidential STD screening at one of our Texas clinics today.
