A member asked:
How much time can you be infected with syphilis without knowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All depends: Third stage syphilis can cause neurosyphilis and death. But, not all die. But in general people get sick eventually from syphilis. Thus get tested routinely and never risk getting late stage syphilis. Please.
