Syphilis?

[Jay416]

Okay, about just short of three months ago I visited a CSW and have a brief encounter which was protected penetration and unprotected cullingus. Anyway, I took a test like 5 weeks after for HIV, syphilis, Chlamydia & gonorrhoea which was all negative. Happy days. However, this past week I've developed bumps all over my hands and feet which have now gone down and left brown spots. It itches on and off and hurts a bit as well. Reading up on what it might be, I saw that a symptom of the second stage of Syphilis is a rash which consists of brown spots on hands and feet. I also had a few canker sores two weeks prior to this, which I'm now thinking could have possibly been a chancre, although it would be unusual to develop one so late after.

I was thinking of going to get tested again tomorrow just to make sure, however I don't really want to waste time doing it if my there isn't really much chance I was infected.

All responses would be appreciated, thank you.

Okay thanks, doubt I'm gonna get tested until my next biannual check up. As you've said it's very unlikely so I'll just put it to bed for now. Gonna see my dermatologist instead today to discuss it with him. Thanks a lot for the help!

Doubt syphilis. Not sure the percentage at 5 weeks, would have to ask a Dr.

[Jay416]

Thanks! Considering I took a test at 5 weeks though, would there be any point in testing again as it's only one week short of it being 100% conclusive. That plus the fact I would only have been able to get it orally which makes it even more unlikely, makes me think a test would be a bit pointless.

The cankers appeared about 8 weeks after btw.

Unlikely syphilis, but only a test would rule it out. Also the canker comes at about 21 days and happens where the infection took place.
