Dealing with syphilis

[BritishCumdump]

Hey, so it's finally caught up with me and I've been diagnosed with stage 2 syphilis. Far too many slutty meets and cumdump sessions so I guess I deserve this. It must have dodged the net of my every 2 month checkup and unlike most of the time when I get an std this time it's really symptomatic (red spots, swollen joints, the lot). 

I've had my injections now (I think it was just penicillin) and the doc says it'll be two weeks minimum before I can fuck again which is fine. I just wanted to ask about syph from the community here as the official information online seems vague. 

How infectious is syph usually? Like I've informed the last 15 guys I've slept with and while some have gone and immediately got treated just in case, others have just shrugged and said they feel fine and will see what happens at their next test. Should I be pushing them to go get treated? I remember I got fucked by a big rough dom a few years ago who told me when he was already inside me that he had syph and I managed to dodge it then but is that a rare exception? I might he a cumdump pig but I hope I haven't spread this too far. 

Also does anyone have advice for dealing with these symptoms? I'm trying to rest and not scratch but is it just a case of waiting it out and not spreading it any further? 

Will Doxyprep help me avoid this in the future?

Honestly, you should probably ask a doctor about most of those questions. I've always thought syphilis is very contagious, but it might be more infectious in the early and late stages based on what you said. 

I do know for a fact that there's nothing like PreP that prevents the infection like for HIV. I'm pretty sure you're much less likely to get or give the infection when you don't cum inside though. 

I would think that soaking in a hot bath with ground oats, some powdered milk, and a little honey could probably help with the rash and make your joints feel better. You'll feel much better in a week or two, but it takes the anti biotics a little time to work. Just be sure to try and get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and try to keep your stress low while you're healing.

Your future syphilis tests are always going to be positive after this, but the doctors can tell if you have an active infection or not based on some stuff in the test. If you're asked if you've had syphilis before next time you get tested let them know.
