Best Answer

Syphilis is spread by skin-to-skin contact with someone who is infected. You can also get it from birth to a mother who has the disease.

Can disease exist in the absence of illness?

Yes. Take in account Hepatitis. It's a disease, but someone could be perfectly healthy otherwise. If someone has the flu at the same time that would be another story. Disease and illness are two different things. Also, an example is mental illness. This is an *illness* while hepatitis is a *disease*. So, yes, disease CAN exist in the absence of illness.
