Syphilis window period

Hi - I had a risky exposure with a couple (BS guy and a shemale).

Previously we always had condoms used. However last time I inserted shortly (1-2minutes without).

I have been stressed and are stressed like a maniac.

I tested negative for syphilis, gonorroe, chlamydia, and hiv at:

2weeks, 4weeks, 6weeks (44days).

Will these tests be conclusive (I.e. over 99%)?

I will test later myself for hepatitis.

Hi - the correct term is transgender, not shemale.

Your HIV question was answered here - https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Conclusiveness-Gen-4-duo-test/show/3067809

Your other tests are conclusive.  The only hepatitis you need to be concerned with is hepatitis B, if you haven't been vaccinated for it. If you have, you're fine.

First of all. Thanks for the response.

She herself labels/describes herself with the term I used. Otherwise I would have used the term that you pointed out :)

Thanks for answers! I’m just a bit scared about the exceptions that you sometimes hear about syphilis (like a chancre that formed after 2 months - have you heard this?).
Yes, technically, a syphilis sore can appear anywhere from 10-90 days from infection. The average is 3 weeks.

However, you have to have direct contact with a sore in order to get it. Syphilis is also really uncommon in most developed countries - the US, UK, Canada, most places in Europe, etc.

You tested negative for syphilis at 6 weeks. The chances that you'd get a sore after that while testing negative are astronomically low.

You should get help for your anxiety. STDs are not your issue. Anxiety is. I say that with compassion, not criticism.
