A member asked:
Hi! can i get syphilis after an unprotected sex without showing any related symptoms after a year? no skin problem, rash and anything near private part?

Yes, you may. The condition is known as latent syphilis, testing positive on screening blood tests yet without demonstrating clinical manifestation of disease. You could have had fever, sore throat, muscle aches, and rash, 1-2 months after the exposure.
