There have been a number of new syphilis cases in sex workers (working on the street) and their customers in the Chilliwack area.
Syphilis is an STI that can be passed via oral, vaginal or rectal sex.
Syphilis symptoms can appear as sores or a rash, but it is common for people not to notice anything. For this reason we recommend regular STI screening. A blood test is required for syphilis testing.
