A member asked:
Dear dr, is it possible to transmit syphilis through a kiss on the lips with no sores present, or through saliva (not deep kissing) sharing drinks etc or on the lips from a peck? would the contact have to be direct with sore?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Even prolonged sexual kissing rarely transmits syphilis. These sorts of contact are risk free.
