Syphilis and fingering

Hi guys, after searching in the forum and internet I am still a bit uncertain so would appreciate someone to enlighten me here:-

What is the chance of getting syphilis via fingering? I did such fingering on a prostitute in Bangkok recently, fingers went deep and in fact can feel some round shape muscle which I thought it is cervix. But after it I realise what if it is the chancre of syphilis stage 1? As it seems not easy to tell the difference from the feeling via finger?

If it is really a chancre then how likely I can suffer syphilis via such fingering? I hvnt touched my penis or any part of body after fingering and have washed my hands maybe after 20 min after the action. But I am not sure if the bacteria could enter my body via finger skin?

And other than fingering i had protected oral sex from her, cum in the condom. No any other sex act other than I fingered her and received protected oral sex from her.

Appreciate your help! Thanks

Your intact (unbroken) skin on your hands is too thick for bacteria to penetrate. There is no risk from fingering.

What you felt was surely her cervix, and not a syphilis sore.

She used a condom for oral sex, right? She is using a condom to protect herself from her clients, not to protect you from her. She is trying to protect her body, her livelihood, her income, whatever is important to her. You view her as someone with all kinds of diseases - she views you the same way.

So you're fine. There's no risk here.

Many thanks auntie jessi for your comments. I guess it is my first time to feel such ‘muscle’ during fingering so making me feel anxious especially I read the forum and understand syphilis sore is quite commonly developed on cervix.

I requested the protected oral sex as I understand it will help to reduce the transmission risk by a lot, just I didn’t realize what is the potential risk of fingering.

Think I could put all these anxious aside now
Even if you felt a syphilis sore, which is unlikely, there's no risk here.

There's no reason for anxiety here. :)
