Regarding syphilis
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
If a partner has been diagnosed with syphilis then all sexual contacts within the past 3 months should be screened as well. You may take a screening test for syphilis at your first visit and then repeat after 12 weeks for a conclusive result.. Along with your partner, you should anyways be treated for syphilis regardless of your test result, if your partner definitely has syphilis.
take care
