Syphilis is transmitted by sexual contact with infected persons. Usually 3 weekly penicillin injections are sufficient to treat most infections, but time to cure is not specific. If the antibody titre starts falling then the cure may have successfully been started. It may be upto 6 months for early syphilis or upto 24 months for late syphilis. To take baby, it may be safer to wait for 24 months. Sexual partners also need to be treated.
