Types of Syphilis   

Also known as “Bad Blood” and “Syph”, this disease can appear in several forms and usually advances as time lapses from when the infection was first contracted.  Primary Syphilis is obtained by coming directly into sexual contact with an infected person who has contagious wounds. Secondary, Tertiary, Gummatous, Cardiovascular and Late Neurosyphilis are types of Syph that appear much later – anywhere between after 1 to 45 years of the infection. Congenital Syphilis is the type transmitted from mother to fetus.
