Syphilis can be transmitted through the following modes:
1. Sexual contact: Syphilis is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. It can be spread through direct contact with syphilitic sores or rashes on the genitals, mouth, or anus.
2. Vertical transmission: Syphilis can be passed from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby during pregnancy or childbirth. This is known as congenital syphilis and can have serious consequences for the baby if left untreated.
3. Blood transfusion: Although rare, syphilis can be transmitted through blood transfusions or organ transplants from an infected donor.
4. Sharing needles: Syphilis can be transmitted through sharing needles or other equipment used for injecting drugs.
5. Rare modes of transmission: In rare cases, syphilis can be transmitted through non-sexual contact with infected blood or tissue, such as through broken skin or mucous membranes. This can occur through activities such as kissing, sharing eating utensils, or through contact with contaminated objects.

Modes of Transmission of Syphilis:
1. Sexual Contact:
- Direct contact with infectious lesions during vaginal, anal, or oral sex
- Can occur even if the lesions are not visible
2. Vertical Transmission (Mother to Child):
- Congenital syphilis can be transmitted during pregnancy or childbirth if the mother is infected
- Can lead to severe complications for the child, including blindness, deafness, and mental disability
3. Blood Transfusions and Needle Sharing:
- Sharing needles or receiving blood from an infected person
- Rare but possible mode of transmission
4. Organ Transplantation:
- Receiving an organ from an infected donor
- Risk is low but still possible
Note:
- Syphilis is not transmitted through casual contact, such as hugging or sharing personal items.
- People with syphilis may not be aware they are infected, as the early stages often have mild or no symptoms.
- Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and transmission to others.
