When the syphllis test is conclusive?

After a risky exposure, how soon should we go test for syphllis to have a conclusive test result?
I got tested 25 days after exposure and the result came back negative. Was it conclusive?
Thanks

No, if you don't have symptoms, test again at 6 weeks. It can take up to 90 days to show positive, but most people will show positive by 6 weeks. Syphilis isn't that common, so if you get a negative at 6 weeks, you're fine.
