How long?
by gainextdoor, Feb 05, 2008 05:14PM
Contracted syphilis about two weeks ago. Have been religiously taking the antibiotics. Have no symptoms. Caught it very early, it would seem. So, all I want to know is how long do I have to keep taking the antibiotics? And when can I kiss my partner again? No body, including doctors seem to be able to give me a straight answer. No sex and three months of antibiotics has been mentioned by one doctor, another said it will all be over in a couple of weeks. Any clue?
