Notes
While Hank sipped his morning coffee, he thought about his recent trip to the clinic. [Thought bubble] "Boy, I'm glad I checked out ACT before I went in so I knew what to expect"
Easy to get: among gay, bi and queer guys, syphilis is spread through condomless sex (skin to skin contact) (yes, even blow jobs!)
Easy to treat: syphilis has four stages, so you can have it and not know it. A single dose of penicillin into the butt clears it right up.
Easy to get again: once you've had it, you can easily get it again (and again) stay testing!
