A member asked:
Do syphilis weaken the immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Many recently acquired infections, including colds, influenza, and others may temporarily result in mild immune system weakness. But syphilis is not known to do so and probably does not. If it does, the effect probably is mild and not very serous.
