Treatments

The use of a condom is essential to protect yourself and your partners against STDs. If you have any concerns, you should have an STD screening test. In the event of an infection, follow the treatment correctly and inform your sexual partners.

How is syphilis treated?

Syphilis can be treated using antibiotics generally administered by injection.

The treatment does not protect against reinfection: 6 months after treatment, a blood analysis will be needed to confirm that the treatment has worked.

It is very important to carry out follow-up tests.

Sciensano compiles two reports each year documenting the evolution of STDs in Belgium. The reports are based on data-collection networks.
