Hi, thank you for your question. I am glad that you are currently treated for the syphilis infections. The injections you received are extremely effective with 98% cure rate among the infected person. If your partner has syphilis infections, the cure rate of using penicillin antibiotic is very high. However, there are several stages of syphilis infections which required different dosages and durations of antibiotic treatment.

If both of you are treated specifically with antibiotic for syphilis infections, both of you need retesting to ensure free from the infections. The recommended retesting is 6 months and 12 months by your healthcare providers. Your doctor will check your condition and perform the syphilis testing on you. If there are symptoms and signs of reinfections, re-treatment is needed for you or your partner. Bear in mind that a treated syphilis infection does not guarantee you are protected from syphilis infection for the subsequent exposure.

During this period of time, you and your partner can get back together after getting treated. You should practise safe sex using condom. This can help to prevent you from getting the sexual transmitted disease from your partner. Besides that, you are not encouraged to have sex with multiple partners as this can increase the risk of getting other sexual transmitted diseases.

If you noticed any unresolved symptoms or concerns, please get help from your healthcare providers. They can help you to discuss plans and manage your conditions accordingly. Hope your question is answered and have good days ahead.
