Can be latent years: This depends on what you look for, how monitored. Waiting for symptoms, more so in women, is highly unreliable/dangerous. Study http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syphilis, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treponema_pallidum & http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64729 for background. Generally blood tests for serologic (immunologic) responses to the spirochaete Treponema pallidum are the way to go.
