Syphilis is a sexual infection, and mainly it affects the genitals and mouth. It is usually transmitted through sexual intercourse (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). Sexually related infections affect everyone, and the capstone project objective will help advocate for autonomy and social justice to the diverse population.

In this case, nurses will provide adequate information to the different genders, ethnic groups, and young people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). These infections affect people across all divides, and through this process, the objective will help advocate for social justice.
