1. It is a thing of the past.
No! it's less common but still exists among sexually active people.
2. If there are no symptoms, it's not there.
This can go along with a lot of other STD's, just because they are asymptomatic doesn't mean it isn't there.
3. As soon as you contract the STD, you immediately become crazy.
This is half true. In later stages, syphilis was linked to insanity. But at that point it is still curable.

# data[].attributes.body
Consult a doctor for the infection and use antibiotics and other medicine to fight of the infection. But those were bacterial STD's. Viral STD's cannot be treated.
