    How can I prevent transmission to my sexual partner(s)?

     

    • The systematic and proper use of a latex condom is an effective means of protection against the transmission of syphilis;
    • In the presence of an ulcer, an unusual sore, pimple or redness it would be prudent to refrain from sexual relations and consult your physician;
    • You should consider routine STI screening tests, including a test for syphilis, at a frequency appropriate to your sexual lifestyle (particularly if you have multiple sexual partners). Discuss the testing interval with one of our physicians;
    • Talk about sexual health and STI testing with your partner(s);
    • Advise all sexual partners over the previous three to twelve months (according to the stage of syphilis), thereby interrupting the chain of transmission and avoiding re-contamination after treatment. It is thanks to effective antibiotics and partner notification (public health concern) that the numbers of syphilis have declined over the decades.
