Can you get syphilis if you don't wash your hands after using the toilet? Five key points to pay attention to in preventing syphilis

Handshaking will not infect AIDS, which is believed to be known by many people, but syphilis may spread through handshaking, which is unknown.

Deng is a migrant worker from a water plant on Nanzhou Road in Haizhu District. He sought medical attention from the hospital due to a traffic accident and was diagnosed with three types of conventional syphilis during hospitalization. His lover quickly underwent an examination and discovered the same illness, even the one and a half year old baby in the family could not be spared. According to the doctor of the dermatology department of the hospital, in addition to congenital infection, urinary tract infection and other factors, children are most likely to have close contact with their mothers the day after tomorrow, such as kissing (if the hard lower heat rash grows in the lips), shaking hands, hugging, and bathing.

Using condoms and 30% of the middle hands

Treponema pallidum is abundant on the surface of skin and mucosal damage, as well as in saliva, milk, semen, and urine. After entering the human body from the damaged skin and mucosa, it invades nearby lymph nodes within a few hours. Within 2-3 days, blood circulation spreads throughout the body, with a latent period of about 3 weeks. The initial sore at the invaded site is syphilis. Afterwards, the body produces antibodies, most of the spirochetes are killed, and the prickly heat naturally disappears, entering an asymptomatic incubation period, which is a stage of latent syphilis. Those who relapse within 6 months to 2 years are referred to as secondary recurrent syphilis.

Syphilis is neither painful nor itchy, and rashes can be cured, making it difficult for patients to pay attention. A graduate student from a university tested for syphilis while donating blood. She said she encountered rape and did not go to the hospital for examination and treatment. She was unaware of the infection and had already developed into Phase II during the examination. According to a survey, first-stage syphilis in men is related to women, with a probability of 60% to 70% of women being recruited, and even condom use has a 30% failure rate.

Not washing hands and shaking hands after defecation can also be infected

Syphilis is a chronic infection caused by Treponema pallidum (also known as Treponema pallidum), mainly transmitted through sexual contact, with early syphilis having the highest infectivity. Syphilis rash not only grows in the coronal sulcus of the penis, foreskin, glans, and scrotum, but also in the fingers, lips, and eyelids.

The wound surface of the first stage of syphilis contains a lot of Treponema pallidum. If the patient's rash grows on their hands and shakes hands with someone, it may be transmitted to others. Because Treponema pallidum can enter the human body through damaged skin and mucous membranes, and many people are not aware of minor injuries on their hands, shaking hands with syphilis patients can easily be a "hit". Even if the rash does not grow on the hands, syphilis patients who come out of the urine and shake hands with others without washing their hands can still cause "trouble". Therefore, doctors will label the test form for syphilis with the words' dangerous' to prevent occupational infection among the testing personnel.
