Not me, but she would like to get married some day, have kids, etc, but she feels lost right now and is going day to day without any hope?

I think there is some confusion somewhere.
Syphilis is either successfully treated or it isn't.
Once it is successfully treated there is no risk of the disease being transmitted.
However there are still antibodies in the blood and I think this is what the doctor is referring to.
Dr Tan can clarify when he pops by.
