syphilis positive

If someone gets tested and is positive how can u tell which stage u re in. I got tested and results were positive but I dont know when I cought it. So far I had no obvious symptoms apart from itchiness. Currently I am on the treatment. The doctor has prescribed me Retarpen injections (7 , once a week) and Phlogenzym to take daily. Though I am on medication I am still worried.

well if it's been less than a year then you know you probably are still in the early stages.

typically a one time shot of penicillin covers syphilis in the early stage. otherwise it's 1 shot a week for 3 weeks.
