Would the Latent Syphilis stage do damage?


I read early Latent syphilis stage is less than 2 years, and it says Latent Syphilis isnt dangerous really until you get to tertitary stage. Im getting tested in a few days but have possibly had syphilis for 1 year and 10 months, it was a lifetime movie that made me realize I could have it. So if im in Latent stage I shouldnt have organ damage yet right? Thanks

you asked this question twice already, if you 're that worried go take a test---for ALL STD'S just to be safe!!! if you test positive for syphilis---and are in the latent stage---any decent doctor will give you proper cardiac examinations--and CT scans....

Latent stage: This stage is often called the hidden stage of syphilis because usually no symptoms are present. The latent stage is defined as the year after a person becomes infected. A person in early latent stage may be contagious. Many times, latent-stage syphilis is detected in a mother only after she gives birth to a child infected with syphilis (congenital syphilis).
Late (tertiary) stage: If syphilis is not detected and treated in the early stages, problems can develop because of damage caused by having the syphilis bacteria in the body for so many years. These may include heart disorders, mental disorders, blindness, other problems associated with the nervous system, and even death.
