Brief Answer:
Chance is 100%

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Greetings,

Syphilis is a very notorious organism it can effect mouth,genitalia,anal region, etc.

As per your question there is 100% chance of infection after intercourse,(anal, oral or vaginal). If the immune condition of person is very strong then it may not affect but its chance is less.

But the good part is that syphilis is completely curable so need not to worry, it can also be prevented by precaution, medicines, hygiene, or sanitation.

Hope I am able to clear your doubt, if further any clarification required please let me know.



Expecting to get the feedback from you as soon as possible,

Regards,

Thanks.
