The transmission routes of syphilis include sexual contact, blood relationship and birth canal transmission. Clinically, more than 90% of syphilis is transmitted through sexual contact with syphilis patients. The ways of sexual contact include sexual intercourse, passionate kissing and hugging in physical contact. Due to the thin skin mucosa and rich blood vessels in human genital area, it is in a state of extreme congestion during sexual contact, and severe friction can cause subtle damage, creating conditions for the invasion of Treponema pallidum. Although some of them are infected through indirect contact, that is, clothes, towels, toothbrushes, razors, tableware and so on. These infected people should have some skin or mucous membrane damage. And if you just live together, even if you touch your hand or touch the mat, because there is generally no treponema pallidum on the patient's hand and mat; Even if there is, our own hands and children's skin are not damaged and will not be violated.
The incubation period of syphilis is 9-90 days, with an average of 3 weeks. Syphilis usually begins 2-4 weeks after infection. The initial stage of syphilis is primary syphilis, and its iconic feature is chancre, and the prone part is generally around the genitals. And your throat discomfort and stomach pain should be other reasons, such as catching a cold.
If you are really uneasy, you can go to the hospital for examination. But generally speaking, the best detection time of syphilis is about 3 weeks after the occurrence of high-risk behavior, and the detection results are more reliable at this time.
