Primary Stage- At the site where syphilis is contracted, sores may appear. These are usually firm, round, and painless.

Secondary Stage- Body rashes may appear while sores from the primary stage are healing or after they have healed.

Latent Stage- There are no signs or symptoms of the infection at this point.

Tertiary Stage- At this point, syphilis is very serious. This usually occurs 10-30 years after the infection occurred.
