Hi Anon - You are essentially asking how does one get syphillis and how is it spread. Syphilis is caused by the bacterium, Treponema pallidum . The bacterium is passed from person-to-person through direct contact with a syphilis lesion.
Syphilis is spread by:
* Vaginal, anal, or oral sexual contact with an infected person
* A pregnant woman who passes the infection to her unborn baby
* Blood exposure, such as through illegal drug use, or rarely, blood transfusions
