Yes. Syphilis is curable! Syphilis is treated with injections of penicillin. People infected with syphilis for a long time may need multiple sets of injections. It’s important to know that if you had syphilis in the past and were treated for it, you can still get it again.
Syphilis cases in Oregon increased more than 600% between 2009 and 2018.
