A member asked:
Once a syphilis chancre starts, how long does it take to develop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Starts?: Your questions this morning are very curious. What do you mean by 'start's. An infection either happens or it does not. Syphilis can take six weeks or more to show up after an exposure. But, if a sore happens then one needs to get the sore evaluated urgently. It is better here on the internet to ask specific questions or description of the exact thing you are feeling or seeing.

A member asked:
Is this correct? Syphilis only transmissable after chancre appears. Test will be positive 1-2 weeks after chancre. If partner tested neg 5 weeks after we hooked up then I'm fine as her test would be +ve by this point if she had it & was contagious?
