Hey there and I appreciate your kind question. It is very good that you provide your test results because by that I can know that you are having syphilis infection. However it is good to bear in mind that sometimes the test can shows a false positive test as well which means the test was positive but in reality it does not.
Syphilis is a bacterial illness usually transmitted by sexual activity. The syphilis infection starts with a painless lesion or sore which affects typically on your genital area and it can be rectum or mouth as well. Syphilis is passed from person to another person via skin contact or mucous membrane contact with these lesions or sores.
After the initial infection, the syphilis bacteria can stays dormant in your body for 10 years approximately before it is becoming active again. Early syphilis infections can be cured with just a single injection of penicillin antibiotic. Without a treatment, syphilis infections can severely affects your heart, brain or other organs, and sometimes can be a life threatening disease. Other than that, it can be passed from mother to a the baby during delivery.
For the treatment, yes you can get it from our side. A single injection of penicillin antibiotic can prevent the syphilis infection from progressing if you have the symptoms less than 1 year. If you have symptoms for more than 1 year you may need another dose of penicillin.
The first day you get penicillin injection you may having a conditions that is called as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.
