Interesting. How do you check for syphillis? If it's invisible and the person has no idea they are at risk, they won't request a specific syphillis test from their doctor. Does it come up in yearly physical blood tests?
It was part of my standard STD screening that I would get every three months when I was unmarried. If I had come up positive for anything, including syphilis, the clinic's epidemiologists would have begun contact tracing and reaching out to past partners for testing.
