Q1. Is the incubation period for syphilis long? Can't it be detected during the incubation period?
The incubation period of typical syphilis is about 10-90 days, usually 3 weeks, but it may also be longer.
Latent syphilis refers to the period when syphilis enters a completely asymptomatic period, but there are still antibodies against Spiral bacteria syphilis in the body. Therefore, the latent period of syphilis can be checked out, but because there are no symptoms, people who suffer from syphilis generally do not want to check this venereal disease. The latent period of syphilis still has destructive effects on body tissues and organs.
Basically, it can be divided into early latent syphilis and late latent syphilis. Early latent syphilis is a Asymptomatic period less than one year after infection, and the patient is still infectious; Late latent syphilis refers to the Asymptomatic period of infection for more than one year, with weak infectivity.

Q2. How do you know if your partner has any such diseases? Can it be observed with the naked eye?
The incubation period refers to the period of complete absence of clinical symptoms. It is quite difficult to rely on visual observation during this period.
Primary syphilis, where painless ulcers and hard chancre appear in the infected area, and secondary syphilis presents with systemic symptoms, including flat warts, rash, etc. Skin rash is the most common symptom of secondary syphilis. It is often a rash the size of a red bean on the skin of the whole body. The skin rash in the body folds (such as the anus) produces superficial ulcers due to damp heat and friction. It is called "condyloma planum". It contains a large number of syphilis Spiral bacteria, so it is highly infectious.
Systemic lymphadenopathy is also a common symptom. Enlarged lymph nodes are as hard as rubber, without pain, and are commonly seen in lymphadenopathy in the groin, neck, occipital, axilla, and epicondylar regions.
If any of the above abnormalities are observed during intimate behavior, it is recommended to turn off the engine and shout 'stop'!
Q3. Can someone still be infected if wearing a condom?
Please use condoms correctly throughout the entire process. If lubricant is required, water-based lubricant shall be used instead of Baby oil, lotion and other oily lubricants to avoid damaging the condom material. It is also necessary to avoid contact with other body fluids and blood. Syphilis is not only confined to sexual organs, but also contains a large number of Spiral bacteria in skin ulcers.
Q4. Can infection be eradicated?
After appropriate treatment, syphilis can reduce the viral load and have no risk of transmission, but there is no lifelong immunity. If you are re infected, you can still develop the disease and still have the opportunity to infect others. (Recommended reading: How to know if you are infected with "syphilis"?
