Syphilis is primarily contracted through direct sexual contact with an infected person, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. The bacteria responsible for syphilis, Treponema pallidum, can enter the body through mucous membranes or broken skin. Additionally, it can be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. It's important to practice safe sex to reduce the risk of transmission.
