Syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is quite easy to catch and can cause serious problems if you don’t get it treated. It has been increasing in New Zealand particularly in men having sex with men (MSM). Having untreated syphilis increases your chances of catching HIV infection.
