Congenital Syphilis: What It Is and How to Prevent It [Video]

Welcome to our educational video on Congenital Syphilis! In this informative session, we’ll delve into the intricacies of this serious condition that affects newborns and infants. Let’s explore what congenital syphilis is, understand its impact, and learn how to prevent it.

Congenital syphilis is when your baby is born infected with syphilis (a sexually transmitted infection, also called STD). The only way your baby can get congenital syphilis is if you have syphilis and pass it to your infant, usually during pregnancy or during vaginal birth if a baby has contact with a syphilis sore.

Remember, knowledge empowers us to protect our little ones. Let’s spread awareness and ensure a healthier future for all. Congenital syphilis is completely preventable. Protect yourself and your baby by following safe sex practices and talking to your doctor about testing in your prenatal care checkups.

If you would like to get confidential STD testing, you may visit your prenatal care provider, primary care provider or any Norton Immediate Care or Norton Prompt Care location.
