Syphilis is most commonly spread through sexual activity. It is usually spread by sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. The disease starts as a painless sore, typically on the genitals, rectum, or mouth. Syphilis spreads from person to person via skin or mucous membrane contact with these sores.
It may also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy or when giving birth, resulting in congenital syphilis.
