A member asked:
If i was treated with the appropriate shot of penicillin one day after possible exposure to syphilis, is this enough to cure it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
STD prophylaxis: Syphilis is very susceptible to penicillin, and the prophylactic dose is sufficient to protect, but a sustained blood level is given by only certain types of penicillin, so check with your physician to see which kind was given.
