A member asked:
Can syphilis spread without a chancre present after oral sex with a male? would it present as an upper respiratory infection 3 mos later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syphilis: Yes it can occur without a visible chancre. Upper respiratory infection 3 mos later would be very rare, but syphilis is known as the great masquerader and can present in almost any fashion. You should go and be checked for all STDs and stop having unprotected sex. Good luck and best wishes.
