According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for syphilis, especially if they have multiple partners or have had unprotected sex. It's also recommended for pregnant women, men who have sex with men, and individuals diagnosed with HIV.
Getting tested for syphilis is crucial because, if left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications like damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. Moreover, it can be easily transmitted through sexual contact, making it important to get tested to prevent spreading the infection to others.
