What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Syphilis?

I just found out from my most recent sexual partner that he has syphilis and he claims that he didn t have it before me. I didn t have any symptoms and do have an appointment with my OBGYN on monday, but want to know if there is a way to pinpoint when I got it, so i know if it was from him or if I was the one who got if from a previous partner.

Hello
Read few things about the SYPHILIS :
Mode of transmission;
=sexual
=vertical ( congenital )
=rarely by blood transfusion.
Incubation period :about 3 weeks ( range 10 to 90 days ).
Four stage ;
=Primary
=Secondary
=Latent
=Tertiary .
As I mentioned above that you may got it any day between 10 -90 days of sexual contract with your partner.
Primary syphilis may appear 10-90 days after exposure.
Secondary 2 to 18 weeks after contact
Latent within one year of infection.
Tertiary
3 TO 10 years after infection.
Hope I have answered your question.
