Secondary syphilis develops approximately 3 to 12 weeks following undetected and untreated primary syphilis. Despite historically low rates of syphilis infection in 2000, the United States is now experiencing an alarming resurgence in primary, secondary, and congenital syphilis. This case report describes an unexpected presentation in a young woman presenting for an initial well‐woman examination. Social and behavioral drivers of syphilis infection, diagnosis, and treatment are presented. Implications for women's health are examined. The need for new and more effective preventive health strategies is reviewed.
