Syphils scare

Hi,condom tore while vaginal sex and nude body massage ,outercourse with sex worker.approximately 15 days post exposure i got a painless red colour dot near uretra opening .i thought was syphilis

3 months post exposure i tested negative for all stds including syphilis vdrl and tpha .

The issue now is
1)i used doxy 100mg and some other antibiotics i could nt remember 2 days post exposure .(bad advise taken from a friend)
2) went to junior doctor after 1 month of exposure he gave me doxy100mg for 5 days for penis irritation.


Will the irregular use of antibiotics affect my syphilis tests ??if yes , when should i get tested again..

Read somewhere in medhelp from drhandsfield.tests remain forever negative in situations like this.
I m freaking out what if i have syphilis and tests remain forever negative and it destroys inside for my stupid use of irregualar antibiotics.

Thanks in advance sir.

Your antibiotics should cure syphilis. You need to to the test of cure. Stop all meds and wait for a few weeks before testing. I recommend you consult your doctor

Dr .handsfield wrote to some other person with same query .as
Dont waste money on syphilis or other std tests.the antibiotics prevent positive test by aborting or curing infection.Even if you had been infected with gonorrhea,chladymia or syphilis .you will never know, YOUR test will forever remain negative.

I started panicking after reading this. If i never know how can i be treated .or i interpreted it wrong ?
