Syphilis Transmission: Debunking Common Myths and Misconceptions

As a blogger, I feel it's important to educate my readers on the topic of syphilis transmission and debunk some common myths and misconceptions. Firstly, syphilis is not spread through casual contact, such as sharing utensils or toilet seats. Secondly, using contraceptives like condoms can significantly reduce the risk of transmission, but it's not 100% effective. Moreover, syphilis can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, making prenatal testing crucial. Lastly, I want to stress that the only way to accurately know your syphilis status is by getting tested regularly, as it often shows no symptoms in the early stages.
