Can you get syphillis if someone has rash on their hands and they touch your penis?

What if someone has the second stage rash on their hands and they shake your hand?

What if they touch your penis?

What if the rash isn’t visible, but they have syphillis? Can their hands touching your penis give you syphillis?

Let's keep all your questions to one thread to keep it less confusing.

If they had a visible rash on their hands, and touched your penis, then yes, you could get it. You'd see the rash - it's not easy to miss.

If they didn't have a rash, you can not get it this way.

What if they have the rash and they shake hands with you, or touch your leg.  How soon would you know if you got something?
