Syphilis develops in four stages, each with a different set of symptoms.\nPrimary stage\n\nDuring the primary stage of syphilis, a sore (chancre) that is usually painless develops at the site where the bacteria entered the body. This commonly occurs within 3 weeks of exposure but can range from 10 to 90 days. A person is highly contagious during the primary stage.\n\n    * In men, a chancre often appears in the genital area, usually (but not always) on the penis. These sores are often painless.\n    * In women, chancres can develop on the outer genitals or on the inner part of the vagina. A chancre may go unnoticed if it occurs inside the vagina or at the opening to the uterus (cervix) because the sores are usually painless and are not easily visible.\n    * Swelling of the lymph nodes may occur near the area of the chancre.\n    * A chancre may also occur in an area of the body other than the genitals. When this occurs, the chancre is more likely to be inflamed and produce pus.\n    * The chancre lasts for 28 to 42 days, heals without treatment, and may leave a thin scar. However, just because the chancre has healed does not mean the syphilis is cured or that a person cannot pass the infection to others.\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/std/hw195110.asp

A Pimple in the same spot every month. Some other signs to notice: Look for these things around the same time every month. Example: If she has her menstrual say on the 10th day then look for the signs leading up to the 10th day.\n\nSigns like a headache, moodiness, the pimple, tender breast, legs hurt, stomach bloated, wants lots of chocolate or really horny.

"Early symptoms may include irritability, headache, fever and itching or pain at the exposure site. The disease eventually progresses to spasms of the throat and the muscles used for breathing, convulsions, delirium, paralysis and death. It is important to note that by the time any symptoms appear, rabies cannot be successfully treated."

Definitely go get tested. And don't feel embarrassed about it or anything of the sort if that's the problem-believe me, doctors are used to that. And don't forget that some STDs result in serious cases, so go get tested ASAP.

Most people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection. However, if signs and symptoms occur during the first outbreak, they can be quite pronounced. The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted, and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second crop of sores, and flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. However, most individuals with HSV-2 infection may never have sores, or they may have very mild signs that they do not even notice or that they mistake for insect bites or another skin condition.

I guess u ment to say syphilis. Well itd a STD ( sexually transmitted disease ) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It has often been called “the great imitator” because so many of the signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from those of other diseases. \n\nSyphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore. Sores occur mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it to the babies they are carrying. Syphilis cannot be spread through contact with toilet seats, doorknobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.

About three-quarters of the people with it don't know it.  If you have any symptoms at all they will appear about 1-3 weeks after exposure.  Early signs are vaginal discharge and burning or painful urination.

Not everyone who gets syphilis will go blind, and it can take from a few years to well over 20 for serious problems like this.\n\nYou can also have kindy or heart problems, and it can also cause neurological problems like dementia.\n\nIf you are concerned that you have it, you really should go get a test.  Its very easily cured with antibiotics.

Primary syphilis is manifested after an incubation period of 10-90 days (the average is 21 days) with a primary sore. During the initial incubation period, individuals are asymptomatic. The sore, called a chancre, is a firm, painless skin ulceration localized at the point of initial exposure to the bacterium, often on the penis, vagina or rectum. Local lymph node swelling can occur. The primary lesion may persist for 4 to 6 weeks and then heal spontaneously.\n\nChlamydia has no symptoms.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a spirochaete bacterium, Treponema pallidum. Syphilis has many alternate names, including "lues", "syph", "the Pox" (or "great pox", to distinguish it from smallpox), and the "French disease."\n\nThe route of transmission of syphilis is almost invariably by sexual contact; however, there are examples of direct contact infections (see yaws) and of congenital syphilis (transmission from mother to child in utero).\n\nThe signs and symptoms of syphilis are myriad; before the advent of serological testing, diagnosis was more difficult and the disease was dubbed the "Great Imitator" because it was so often confused with other diseases.\n\nSyphilis can be treated with penicillin or other antibiotics. Statistically, oral treatment is dramatically less effective than other treatments, because patients tend not to complete the course. The oldest, and still most effective, method is to inject benzathine penicillin into each buttock (procaine is added to make the pain bearable); the dose must be given half in each buttock because the amount given would be too painful if given in a single injection.\n\nAnother treatment is to administer several tablets of azithromycin (which has a long duration of action) orally under observation. This latter course may soon be obsolete, as strains of syphilis resistant to azithromycin have developed, and accounted for 10% of cases in some areas in 2004. Other treatments are less effective as the patient is required to take pills several times a day.\n\nIf not treated, syphilis can cause serious effects such as damage to the nervous system, heart, or brain. Untreated syphilis can be fatal.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 History \n2 Etymology \n3 Stages of syphilis \n3.1 Primary syphilis \n3.2 Secondary syphilis \n3.3 Tertiary syphilis \n3.4 Latent syphilis \n3.5 Congenital syphilis \n4 Testing \n5 Treatment \n6 Syphilis in art and literature \n7 See also \n8 External links \n \n\n\n[edit]\nHistory\nThere are two thoughts on the origin of syphilis: the Columbian and pre-Columbian theories. There are ongoing debates in anthropological and historical fields about the validity of either theory.\n\nThe pre-Colombian theory holds that syphilis symptoms are described by Hippocrates in Classical Greece in its venereal/tertiary form. Some passages in the Bible could refer to syphilis, especially Exodus 20:5 where the sins of the father are visited unto the third and fourth generation. There are other suspected syphilis findings for pre-contact Europe, including at a 13-14th century Augustinian friary in the northeastern English port of Kingston upon Hull. The anthropological evidence is contested by those who follow the Columbian theory.\n\nThe Columbian Exchange theory holds that syphilis was a New World disease brought back by Columbus. The first well-recorded outbreak of what we know as syphilis occurred in Naples in 1494. There is some documentary evidence to link Columbus's crew to the outbreak. Supporters of the Columbian theory find syphilis lesions on pre-contact Native Americans. Again, all the anthropological evidence is heatedly discussed on both sides of the Columbian/pre-Columbian debate. (Baker, et al.)\n\nAlfred Crosby has argued that neither side has the full story. Syphilis is a form of Yaws, which has existed in the Old World since time immemorial. Crosby argues that syphilis is a specific form of Yaws that had evolved in the New World and was brought back to the old, "the differing ecological conditions produced different types of treponematosis and, in time, closely related but different diseases". (ref:225 Crosby)\n\nThe epidemiology of the first syphilis epidemic indicates that the disease was either new or a mutated form of an earlier disease. The disease swept across Europe from its early epicenter at Naples. The early form was much more virulent than the disease of t

Skin eruptions may appear two to 12 days after the initial exposure to the virus. \n\nThe first sign of infection is fluid accumulation (edema) at the infection site, which is quickly followed by small, grouped blisters, the characteristic HSV lesions. \n\n\nThese form on an inflamed skin base, which is more visible in dry skin areas. \n\n\nThe blisters then dry out and heal rapidly without scarring. Blisters in moist areas heal more slowly. The lesions may sometimes itch, but itching decreases as lesions heal. \n\n\nWhen the crust falls off, the lesions are no longer contagious. (The virus may still be active in nearby tissue but such persistence is rare.) The primary skin infection with either HSV-1 or HSV-2 lasts up to two to three weeks, but skin pain can last one to six weeks in a primary HSV attack. \n\n\nLymph glands near the site may be swollen as well. \n\n\nPrimary herpes is often accompanied by fever rising to about 102°F, muscle aches, headache, and flu-like malaise. These general symptoms usually resolve within a week. \n\n\nOnce HSV gains entry to a site in the body, the virus spreads to nearby mucosal areas through nerve cells. This characteristic spreading can cause fairly large infected areas to erupt at some distance from the initial crop of sores. \n\nhttp://www.gotherpes.com/doc52symptoms.sht

I don't know, but I doubt it.  Although the popularly accepted story of where syphilis originated is that it came from people having sex with sheep, it is still an infection, and as such, merely has the property of infecting more than one species of host.  That would be kind of like saying that rabies has components of skunk, squirrel, bat, dog and cat protein.  See what I mean?
