Transmit Syphilis from a kiss
I had an encounter (received oral) on August 31 of this year. Two days later I had a pain in the back of my testicles and went to see urgent care. They stated I may have Chlamydia/Gonorrhea and gave me a shot of Rocephin intramuscularly. My tests all came back clear, with the exception of a 1:2 titre on syphilis with a confirmatory test result. This blood test was taken before my shot. I was also given 500 mg of Azithromycin and 200mg a day of Doxycycline for 14 days. I went to a doctor after 7 days on the doxycycline and he took me off the doxy and gave me two shots of penicillin. My blood tests 14 days post exposure (after rocephin,azithro,doxy, but before penicillin) showed a 1:2 titre but no confirmation on the follow up test. I had a test a week later at the health clinic that showed no RPR or confirmation. I have a follow up with an internal medicine doctor on Tuesday to wrap all this up and I feel confident the infection is gone. I just have one question:
I pecked (closed mouth, very little if any saliva) a girl about a week after the Rocephin shot during my Doxy treatment. I spoke with her yesterday and she said she is having syptoms of Strep throat (swollen glands in neck, etc). Did I cause this? Would the Rocephin shot have made me non-contagious or do I need to have her follow-up to make sure I did not spread this?
I believe if I received oral and did not have a chancre, the chance of me having a chancre on/in my mouth would be fairly non existent, correct?

Blood test 3 days after would not be able to show syphilis from a new infection. Either a false positive or an old infection.
I received oral sex and caught syphilis. My question is how long after the rocephin shot am I still contagious? And also could I transmit syphilis from a closed mouth kiss?
So instead of answering my question you want me to reread something that clearly I was confused with the time frame?
