is syphilis curable - #25445

Pooja

I am really freaked out right now. A few weeks ago, I started noticing some weird sores on my body, mostly around my mouth and then a rash showed up on my trunk. Honestly, at first, I thought it was just some kind of allergic reaction. But then I went to get tested and they said I was positive for syphilis. It’s just been a rollercoaster since learning this. The doctor said that is syphilis curable, but I can’t help but feel overwhelmed. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, I’ve heard some really scary things about it and I don't know how I ended up here. I just don’t wanna be a burden on my loved ones or anything. I read somewhere that the earlier you catch it, the better, and I sometimes wonder if I waited too long to get help. But I’ve started treatment with antibiotics, and I’m hoping it works. Still, how can I be sure? Is syphilis curable for everyone? What if I also have other STDs? Should I get tested again later? Just feeling a bit lost in all this, any insights would help.
