Q. Are there any chances of me getting syphilis by sharing a drink with someone with syphilis?
Hello doctor,
Are there any chances of me getting syphilis by drinking a beverage that someone with syphilis already sipped?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
No, you will not acquire syphilis just by having a drink sipped by a person with syphilis.
Modes of transmission of syphilis are:
- Commonly through sexual contact.
- From pregnant mother to child.
- Through blood transfusion.
Moreover, the bacteria causing syphilis cannot survive outside the body.
For further clarifications regarding syphilis consult an HIV AIDS specialist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/HIV-AIDS-specialist
