Can you get reinfected by syphilis?
Yes, it is possible to get reinfected with syphilis. Even after being successfully treated for syphilis, a person can still be reinfected if they come into contact with the bacteria again. This is because the immunity that develops after syphilis infection is not complete and does not provide long-term protection against reinfection. Therefore, it is important to practice safe sex and get regular STI testing to reduce the risk of reinfection.
