I Want to Know More
Interested in learning more about congenital syphilis, its effects on babies, and how to protect yourself and your child? We’re here to answer any questions you may have.
The Impact of Congenital Syphilis
Congenital syphilis occurs when a mother with syphilis passes the infection to her baby during pregnancy. This condition can lead to stillbirth, premature birth, or life-threatening infections. Babies born with congenital syphilis may also suffer from long-term health issues, including developmental delays, seizures, and physical deformities.
In Indiana and nationwide, the rate of congenital syphilis has been rising. It’s time for a change. We want to raise awareness about the importance of syphilis testing to prevent the transmission of syphilis during pregnancy. Let’s create a healthier Indiana for moms and their children.

How Do I Know If
I Have Syphilis?
Many people with syphilis may not show any symptoms, which makes it easy for the infection to go unnoticed and untreated. This is why getting tested is crucial for protecting your health and your baby's health. Some of the most common symptoms of syphilis are:
Non-itchy rash on palms of hands or soles of feet – this can sometimes spread across the whole body
Small, painless sores (ulcers) on penis, vagina, anus, mouth, or hands
White or grey warty growths most commonly on penis, vagina, or anus
White patches in mouth
Fever
Headaches
Tiredness
Swollen glands
Patchy hair loss
