==Secondary prevention of syphilis==
While abstinence from any sexual activity is very effective at helping prevent Syphilis, it should be noted that ''T. pallidum'' readily crosses intact [[mucosa]] and cut skin, including areas not covered by a condom. Proper and consistent use of a latex [[condom]] can reduce, but not eliminate, the spread of syphilis.[http://www.cdc.gov/std/syphilis/STDFact-Syphilis.htm#protect]

*Routine screening and follow up in patients with early syphilis to prevent complications
Individuals sexually exposed to a person with primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis within 90 days preceding the diagnosis should be assumed to be infected and treated for syphilis, even if they are currently [[seronegative]]. If the exposure was more than 90 days before the diagnosis, presumptive treatment is recommended if serologic testing is not immediately available or if follow-up is uncertain. Patients with syphilis of unknown duration and nontreponemal serologic titers ≥1:32 may be considered as having early syphilis for purposes of partner notification and presumptive treatment of sex partners. Long-term sex partners of patients with late syphilis should be evaluated clinically and serologically and treated appropriately. All patients with syphilis should be tested for HIV. Patient education is important as well.
*Diagnosis and treatment of sexual partners of infected individuals
*Frequent screening, treatment and follow up in pregnant females diagnosed with syphilis
*Newborn screening, early diagnosis and treatment
