How does AIDS make you sick?
If left untreated, syphilis can evolve into neurosyphilis. Basically what that means is that the Syphilis bacteria spreads to the Central Nervous System. When syphilis spreads to the nervous system, it causes a slew of neurological symptoms, such as dementia, incontinence, blindness, and seizures. Here's the thing though, neurosyphilis is commonly asymptomatic, which means, the patient shows no symptoms. That might sound like a good thing, being symptomless, but it's really not. If there's a symptom, there's something to treat. The people with asymptomatic neurosyphilis are still experiencing the neurological deterioration that causes death, they just don't know it.

How long can you have chlamydia without having symptoms?
Studies show that adults can have chlamydia for years without any symptoms. It is possible to have a long-term infection without getting pain or discharge. In women, the rate of chlamydia without symptoms may be as high as 70%. It is believed that at least 50% of men with chlamydia may have no symptoms.A baby who gets chlamydia from the mother during birth can also have chlamydia for years without symptoms.But the infection is not "dormant", it can cause damage even without causing symptoms. Women who are later diagnosed with tubal infertility or ectopic pregnancy are three times more likely to have antibodies showing prior exposure to chlamydia, which suggests that they may have had damage to the tubes without having symptoms of pain.It is possible, but usually the symptoms will show up within several weeks.Virtually, this is highly unlikely.
