TREATMENT

There are no home remedies or over-the-counter drugs that will cure syphilis, but syphilis is easy to cure in its early stages.


A single intramuscular injection of long acting Benzathine penicillin G will cure a person who has primary, secondary or early latent syphilis.


Treatment will kill the syphilis bacterium and prevent further damage, but it will not repair damage already done.​


Persons who receive syphilis treatment must abstain from sexual contact with new partners until the syphilis sores are completely healed.


Persons with syphilis must notify their sex partners so that they also can be tested and receive treatment if necessary.

Syphilis has a dormancy period. The average time between infection with syphilis and the start of the first symptom is 21 days, but can range from 10 to 90 days.
