Question 1

can syphilis be cured?

Accepted Answer

Germ can be killed: The germs of syphillis can be cured with antibiotics. If that germ has injured or destroyed some tissues in your body those tissues may or may not be able to recover after treatment.

Question 2

what re the symptoms of syphilis and its cure?

Accepted Answer

Syphilis: Doxycycline can be a cure to syphilis but it is not the most effective treatment. There is a special Penicillin known as Bicillin or Penacillin G that at 2.4 million units is 100% curative. Syphilis is experienced in three phases but there are often no symptom between phases.  Blood testing and antibody titer monitoring are the norms for making sure the treatment was effective.

Question 3

can syphilis be cured or treated for a lifetime or forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unlike some stds such as herpes, the early stages of syphilis are easily cured (forever) with appropriate antibiotic (penicillin shot in the muscle being the drug of choice). Untreated syphilis can eventually result in a non-curable form (known as tertiary syphilis) which is nowadays quite uncommon in our country.

Question 4

if you found syphilis at 9 months would it be too late to cure it?

Accepted Answer

Never too late to Rx: Syphilis progresses in 3 stages, the  initial sore, the blood borne spirochete, and finally crossing the blood brain barrier.   Unlike the carol king song "it's too late" from her tapestry album, we rarely see 3rd stage disease because it is usually caught and treated prior to infiltrating the brain. Can that happen in 9 untreated  months? It depends on the hosts' resistance and the rapidity of rx.

Question 5

my ex husband gave me syphilis, 2 yrs ago. i had it treated at that time, and have had no other issues. is it cured?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: You will need to follow up with the doctor who treated your syphilis to check what your number (RPR) is. Usually RPR will be elevated before treatment, but declines with appropriate treatment.

Good luck and stay healthy.
