Hey, good that you are being treated so early. I believe if you are treated in the first trimester that the chances of having a healthy baby is great. They estimate that the fetus usually is not infected until around the 15th to 17th week is what I have read, so best of luck for both of you!  It is great that you know that you are positive and the doctor can keep close track of you during your pregnancy. Obviously you are worried but statistics and research are on your side!

Do you "think" you have syphilis or do you "actually" have syphilis? What tests were done?
