I was reading your post about catching syphillis in a toilet bowl.  Girl are you stupid. The only way to catch an std is through sexual contact. No disrespect but everyone knows this. You can not catch any stds from using the bathroom. Did you finish middle school. They teach that there. The only way you can catch syphillis is through sex. Do some research on syphillis and if you have it go directly to your physician and tell yo partner to go to.

Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? Syphilis (and other sexually transmitted diseases) are transmitted from person to person by direct contact with syphilis sores as well as through vaginal, anal, or oral sexual contact. Though it is unlikely that you get other diseases through the toilet water, factors such as you overall health, medical history and symptoms present are important considerations. Take care and do keep us posted.
