How is syphilis transmitted

summary

I believe we all know that syphilis is an infectious disease, but how can syphilis be transmitted? Will ordinary people be infected? Today, let's sing a song about the transmission route of syphilis.

How is syphilis transmitted

First, the most common infection should be sexual contact, which is also the main way of transmission. Early syphilis is the most infectious, and it will be asexual contact four years later. The probability of getting syphilis from infected sexual partners is 10% - 60%, and the probability of one-time contact with early syphilis patients is about 1 / 3.

Second: in addition to sexual contact transmission, blood transmission may also be infected. Syphilis patients or latent syphilis and latent syphilis sera are infectious, and they can infect others through blood transfusion and sharing needles. So we must pay attention to some medical things in our life.

Third: pregnant women with syphilis can infect the fetus through the placenta. It is generally believed that the infection occurs after 4 months of pregnancy. Syphilis women who have not been treated for more than 4 years have sexual contact and generally will not be infected, but they can still be infected to the fetus during pregnancy. The longer the duration of the disease, the less infectious it is.

matters needing attention

Basically more than 4 years for infectious syphilis patients, but there is no timely treatment.
