Overview
There is no vaccine available for prevention of syphilis. However, effective measures for the primary prevention of syphilis include abstinence from intimate physical contact with an infected person, consistent use of latex condoms, limiting number of sexual partners, avoidance of sharing sex toys, practising safe sex, routine screening in pregnant females, individuals with high risk behaviours, and those residing in highly prevalent areas. In patients with diagnosed syphilis, early treatment with penicillin can completely prevent tabes dorsalis.
