Maybe...: Syphilis is a bacteria spread from one person to another, which means a person must catch it from another person who already has it. The concern is, "How does one know his or her partner doesn't carry syphilis germs caught from a prior sexual encounter?" Because early symptoms syphilis feel "painless" and go away, a person may not know he caught it until bad symptoms appear months to years later.
