A member asked:
What type of man causes syphilis and what are the characteristics of the it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anyone: It is possible for anyone who is sexually active to contract syphilis and to pass it on to other sexual partners. There is no particular "type" of person who has syphilis. This is why it is important to practice safe sex and to know the infection status of your potential partners before sexual contact.
