&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Syphilis in Malaysia: A Simple Breakdown&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that continues to affect many people in Malaysia, often without them realising it. This is because early symptoms can be so mild or hidden that they go unnoticed. The infection is fully treatable, but early testing makes the biggest difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;This guide explains how syphilis spreads, what symptoms to look out for, when to get tested and how treatment works. If you want a more complete check-up, you can also visit an &lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/std-clinic-in-malaysia&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;STD clinic in Malaysia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;for a full screening instead of just a single test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Is Syphilis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Syphilis is caused by a bacteria called &lt;em&gt;Treponema pallidum&lt;/em&gt;. The first sign is usually a painless sore, which is why the infection is very easy to miss. Without treatment, syphilis can progress into more serious stages over time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Syphilis Spreads&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Syphilis spreads through direct contact with a syphilis sore during sexual activity. This includes oral sex and sharing sex toys. Pregnant women can also pass the infection to their babies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Syphilis does &lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;spread through hugging, sharing towels, toilet seats or eating together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Early Symptoms of Syphilis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Syphilis symptoms vary depending on the stage of infection. Here are the signs to look out for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Primary Stage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;A single painless sore may appear on the genitals, anus or mouth. It might look like a pimple, ulcer or cut. Even when the sore heals on its own, you are still infected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; Secondary Stage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;If untreated, the infection can progress to the next stage. Common symptoms include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Rash on the body, palms or soles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Fever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Swollen lymph nodes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Fatigue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Patchy hair loss&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Mouth or genital patches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;These symptoms may come and go over weeks or months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Latent Stage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;There are no symptoms at this stage. Only a blood test can detect the infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Late Stage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;This stage is uncommon today but can lead to serious complications involving the heart, brain, eyes or nervous system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Should You Get Tested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;You should get checked if:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;You had unprotected sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Your partner tested positive for any STD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;You noticed a sore or rash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;You have multiple partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;You are starting a new relationship&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;You are pregnant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;It is also recommended to test even if you feel completely normal, as syphilis can stay hidden for months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
