Is this Syphilis?

Had unprotected intercourse 14 days ago. No other symptoms. Does this look like syphilis?

Please, if you think you have syphilis, go see a doctor. It's really important that you get tested and treated.

If they think it's a herpes sore, make them do a type specific culture or PCR swab on it.

Don't wait - go today. Testing for herpes sores can be really time sensitive.

They don't allow photos of genitalia on the site. You can post an off site photo link like photo bucket only. But you don't say what your symptom is. Can you describe it? Unprotected intercourse (was this vaginal or anal) does pose risks for std's and hiv. You'll need to get tested for hiv with a 4th generation duo test at 28 days and beyond. Tell me what exactly the symptom is that you are concerned about.
