Syphilis testing can help diagnose the infection in its early stages, when it's easier to cure. Left untreated, syphilis can cause damage to your nervous system, brain, eyes and hearing. It can also increase the risk of HIV infection.
With the right treatment and medication, it can be completely cured. However, treatment does not reverse the damage caused by the infection if it is detected too late.
The first signs of syphilis (which often go unnoticed) are single or multiple sores. They usually appear in, on and around the penis, vagina, rectum, lips and mouth.
