NO, it is NOT HIV but is still serious, because untreated syphilis can attack any part of the body at any time. Syphilitic dementia is not a good way to die – or heart lesions, or any other damage . . .
However, syphilus itself is curable with antibiotics! However, if you wait too long damage done by the disease can be permanent even though the syphilis itself is eradicated at a later time by treatment.
Please start treatment immediately, complete the WHOLE treatment as prescribed, and do not have sex with anyone else until you have completed your treatment and been evaluated by a doctor.
You must also inform your sexual partners so they may be tested and treated.
Good luck.
