4 -- During latent syphilis, the disease is transmitted by exposure to contaminated blood. Sexual contact will not transmit the disease. It is not necessary to wear a condom since the disease is not transmittable by sexual contact. The disease is transmittable by contact with blood.
Don't forget to give me a thumbs up!
