Don't stop just because you start feeling better or your symptoms disappear, because although you may be feeling better, the medicine may not have had a chance to completely eliminate the disease. The spirochete bacterium that causes syphilis can be transmitted by direct contact with the open sores which often characterize the disease during its early stages. Kissing can spread the disease under these conditions. Herpes can invade the body virtually anywhere an open herpes sore comes into contact with a break in the skin. A person can become infected by herpes by kissing someone with a herpes cold sore.
Infection also can occur through the eyes, fingers or other parts of the body.
