A member asked:
Could virgins get neurosyphilis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define virgin: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease. If a kid is born with it (mother to baby transmission) and left untreated, there is a possibility it could happen to someone with no prior history of sexual activity. A person has some sexual contact with a germ shedding body part (oral, anal sex) and get it without vaginal sex. I don't consider these folks virgins.
