Early testing and treatment are important, both for your health and to prevent transmission. Because it can be silent, testing after a risk is worthwhile even without symptoms.
If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.
A private review of symptoms and exposure guides testing.
A blood test detects syphilis and its stage; further tests confirm where needed.
Testing for other STIs, including HIV, is advised because they often coexist.
Results and treatment are explained confidentially.
Syphilis is cured with appropriate antibiotics; the regimen depends on the stage.
Any coexisting infection is treated alongside.
Partner testing and treatment prevent reinfection and spread.
Blood tests confirm successful treatment over time.
Syphilis is tested and treated confidentially here, with appropriate follow-up blood tests to confirm cure and screening for co-infection. Care is led by a board-certified urologist with English-speaking support.
Yes — it is cured with appropriate antibiotics. The regimen depends on the stage, and follow-up blood tests confirm success.
Primarily with a blood test, sometimes supported by examination of a sore. We advise the right testing time after exposure.
Yes — it can be silent, especially in latent stages, which is why testing after a risk is worthwhile.
Yes — partner testing and treatment prevent reinfection and further spread.
