See your doctor: The antibiotic to be chosen and the route of administration and dosage and duration will depend upon the stage of the disease and your ability to tolerate a particular drug. Get treated asap, because late stage syphilis can be devastating.

I realize doxycycline for 2 weeks 2x100mg/day can treat primary syphilis. But what about incubating syphilis (before any symptoms present)? Could starting 10 days of doxycycline (2x100mg/day) within 24-48hrs post exposure prevent infection?
