Question 1

which stds can people from the toilets is syphilis long or short which i've seen in my urine its coil round and has a long pieaceand sometimes itswavy?

Accepted Answer

Toilet unlikely STDs: Except for the moist secretions from a herpes lesion, most STDs would need more intimate contact than intact thigh skin against a dry toilet seat.  Lesions in your urine sound more like mucous threads and could be coming from the urine or vaginal secretions and could either be normal or related to an infection.  An exam and urinalysis by your family doctor or gyn would help clarify.

Question 2

i had thre lab tests down hiv 4th generation/ syphilis, and hep b antigen. the labs said the syphilis and hep antigen have been completed but they are still working on the hiv. since this test is taking longer does this mean it could be positive?

Accepted Answer

: Not necessarily. The lab should give you a reason.

Question 3

i understand syphilis is unlikely from getting oral sex from a female. the day after,i was given a shot of rocephin and put on doxycycline 100mg twice a day for7 days as a precaution will this dose of doxy kill syphilis as well or is7 days too short?

Accepted Answer

: The doxycycline doesn't matter. The standard ceftriazone (Rocephin) dose always prevents syphilis when given soon after exposure. You are 100% protected against gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia. (Not that you needed such treatment after a single oral sex exposure!) That's my last comment to your third (?) question about this event. No more, please.

Question 4

high risk exp got all sym fever for 3 days back pain 2 days sore throat long term, ear pain test all stds neg at 49 days, at std clinic, still worried hiv and syphilis window, syphilis rpr test need to repeat? screen 4th gen wrfx do i need to repeat?

Accepted Answer

: Symptoms are unreliable, but blood tests are accurate. You do not have either syphilis or HIV. Move on without worry.

Question 5

how to tell if i have syphilis for 3 years without any ill effects by now?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: However simple vdrl blood test will give u the answer.

Question 6

what are the effects of syphilis on pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Infected baby: Penicillin, which is one of the safest drugs in pregnancy, effectively treats syphilis and will prevent spreading the infection to your baby.

Question 7

how can i tell the difference between ghonerrea and syphilis?

Accepted Answer

Different symptoms: Gonorrhea usually causes a pure lent urethral  discharge.Syphilis usually has a painless sore on the genitals,mouth, or rectum

Question 8

what are the symptoms of syphilis and how soon do they manifest?

Accepted Answer

Primary or secondary: Earliest sign of primary syphilis is so called chancre, one or more painless hard sores appear after a week & up to 3 months. Last 3 - 6 weeks and heal. Secondary, untreated syphilis, can occur as primary is healing or some weeks later usually with a rash without itching, on one or more parts of body. Secondary can be associated with fever, sore throat, swollen glands, malaise & aches. Treat asap.

Question 9

is it possible to never get any symptoms of syphilis and still have it?

Accepted Answer

Quite common: This is quite common. The initial syphilis lesion (the chancre, i.e. a sore at the exposed area) can be missed, e.g. if inside the vagina, rectum, etc; and later symptoms (e.g. skin rash) can be absent or not noticed. Many people with syphilis never notice anything wrong. If you think you have been exposed to syphilis or other STDs, you need to see a doctor or clinic for lab tests. Good luck!

Question 10

i just found out i have syphilis. what should i do? will they tell her?

Accepted Answer

Get treated: You should get treated immediately.  You should also notify all sexual contacts.  The state health department will probably contact you to ask about your sexual contacts.  They can notify your contacts about without specifically naming you as the reason for their call.
