My maternal grandfather contracted syphilis when he was 16. As a result, my maternal grandmother lost 7 of her 11 children. One child that lived, suffered significant physical and mental problems. It is a terrible disease so I hope that people go back to using adequate protection when having non-monogamous sex.
