Stripper handjob with saliva

Approximately 6 weeks ago, I received a handjob from a stripper. She used her own saliva for a lubricant and was pretty vigorous in her motions. Now, I am freaking out. I’m convinced I am at risk for syphilis. I have what I believe is a herpes breakout (already have genital herpes) due to the stress. I also have what I hope is a friction burn from subsequent self masturbation. Do I have any real risk here? Can syphilis be transmitted from saliva? Thanks in advance.

Theoretically, yes. There are cases like that described in older (pre-WW2) books on syphilis. Oh, those good old days of pre-antibiotics era...
Did i freak you out? Sorry about that.
But realistically, no, your risk is zero. It never happens these days since syphilis is a rare disease and even if your partner was infected your risk would be minimal.
The biggest problem in your case is not syphilis (you don't have syphilis) but your anxiety. Go get tested to snap out of it. Syphilis tests are very sensitive at 6 weeks and treponemal tests are as good as conclusive.
