As a person progresses from stage to stage, the symptoms of syphilis may go away without treatment. This does not mean that the infection is gone.
A person may think that the infection has cleared on its own after symptoms disappear, but the infection will persist and long-term infection can cause serious and permanent damage to the heart, brain, bones or blood vessels.
