Syphilis is divided into four stages:
- Primary
- Secondary
- Latent
- Tertiary (late)
An untreated infected person may infect others during the first 2 stages (1-2 years).
Even though untreated syphilis is not contagious in the late stage serious complications can occur:
- blindness
- mental disorders
- neurological problems
- serious heart abnormalities
- death
Syphilis will infect internal organs, and eventually cause death.
