Syphilis Testing in Oman

Better2Know provides conclusive, confidential Syphilis testing at private clinics across the Middle East, including Oman. Transmitted sexually via oral, anal or vaginal intercourse, or through unprotected contact with a Syphilis sore, the infection can be life-threatening if left untreated.

Syphilis is a potentially life-threatening bacterium, passed on through direct contact with an infected person. It is commonly transmitted sexually via oral, anal or vaginal intercourse, or through unprotected contact with a Syphilis sore, also known as a Chancre.

Chancres mark the Primary Stage of a Syphilis infection. Sores occur predominantly on the external genitals, vagina, anus or rectum, and are usually firm and round in appearance. Often painless, the Chancre will last one to five weeks before healing by itself. If left untreated, the infection will progress to the Secondary Stage, which begins when one or more areas of the skin develop a non-itching rash.

Such rashes can form on the palms of the hands and the bottom of the feet, resembling rough, ‘copper penny’ spots in appearance. The rash – which ordinarily heals on its own – can remain for up to six weeks and can also manifest as scales, blotches, white patches, pox-like eruptions, or small, sunken dark circles.

If the infection progresses, the Latent Stage will develop unbeknown to the carrier, potentially damaging vital organs. Syphilis can be responsible for miscarriages, premature births and stillbirths, as well as causing irreversible health problems, or even death, in as many as 40% of all live babies born to women with an untreated infection.
