Syphilis.

Hi mummies im currently 13 weeks+ now and just took my blood test recently. Actually my test result will be out only on 14 Jan but the doctor just called me and told me that i have to retake again cos maybe i got this syphilis infection. After the news, im super down now. Not quite sure what infection is that but she told me it will spread to the baby. Anyone experiencing this? Thank you in advance
