Firstly this needs to be discussed discreetly, also some investigations that confirm that syphilis is treated needs to be done.

Hi there
I understand your Query but this is a sensitive matter that needs to be discussed threadbare and in person or Online via 📥
More details will be needed in your history especially treatment history and labs etc
Think of a Direct ONLINE Consultation on this App or Apollo 24/7 or any other of an in person visit with a Dermatologist is not easy or desirable for discretion sake.
To my mind, marriage should not be an issue subject to certain checks n balances that i shall explain in detail
