My wife  has all the signs and i might be too.  We have been married for 22 years and faithful.  Is this possible?
How long can you remain contagious with syphilis?  Can two people remain positive for a long time?

Hi when a person has syphilis and goes untreated about a year later they would be possibley dead as left untreated would be fatel so since your here asking questions you dont have syphilis from 25 years ago.

What is your opinion on latent syphilis?

[Life360_Dave]

That term means having it without symptoms but being diagnosed with it before a year or after a year. Either way after 25 years you would not be here if you had it. Test if your still concerned

I have read that it can progress unnoticed up to 35 in the latent stage before the Tertiary stage "CDC" before Neurosyphilis might or might not set in.

You can Google anything that you plan to do in the next 10 minutes and find someone who will tell you that you can die from it, so it is best to follow Life360 advice instead of continuing to scare yourself Googling for Death.
