Could a uti or bacterial vaginosis diagnosis be mistakenly diagnosed and actually be syphillis? are the symptoms of the two similar to syphillis?

Normal variation: There is minimal or no overlap in the symptoms or the diagnosis. If you are concerned about syphilis then you should get the appropriate blood test.
