syphilis concern
I am wondering about syphilis transmission. I had a prostitute that gave me a massage. She rub over my body naked. We did not have sex. Just rubbing. I am worried that I might have got syphilis. I developed a red spot on my buttock. I later got my girlfriend to check it and she ended up with a red spot on her hand weeks later. Can syphilis be transmitted from a brief touch when she checked my red spot.? I am not sure on syphilis transmission.
so if I had a syphilis sore on my buttock, if my girlfriend briefly touched it.. it would not lead to infection.. I had read online that just touching a sore can lead to infection

Hi, to contract syphilis there needs to be an active syphilis sore on the person and there needs to be an open sore on you for it to enter. Without these it doesnot transmitt.
