Please link to the info that you are talking about. Maybe I need some education. Maybe people need to stop saying things that aren't true.
Again here is the REAL medical info on syphilis:

The info on that site is from 6 years ago. These days some strains of syphallis are so strong that antibiotics do not work on them anymore and need "super antibiotics" to kill off the virus.
But essentially i was talking about if you DO NOT have the Syphallis virus then taking antibiotics for it will NOT 'prevent" it and, in the end, make it harder for you to fight off the strain if you DO get it.
There have been many articles about how many diseases and viruses etc, including sexually-transmitted ones, are mutating and it's getting harder to fight off these things with the current crop of antibiotics. This is true for the flu, chicken pox, on and on.
