Could this be syphilus

Below is a post from early June in hiv forum.  Today 2 months later i have a similar rash on my side. It is small bumps clustered together in two places the size of a half dollar. Could that be syphilus?  I was in sun a lot all weekend and in the past  I've had weird sunscreen and plant reactions but nothing like this. Am i being crazy. I cant let this stupid mistake go.


3.5 weeks ago. I went out to a strip club. About 4 hours earlier that night I cut my finger very badly and it took like 5 minutes to get it to stop bleeding badly. I put 2 band aids on it and am almost certain I covered it all. I talked to a stripper that night and shook her hand. I may of held it 20 seconds or so. I also had a dollar bill in my mouth later and another stripper took it with her breasts which I regret and I had a canker sore on lip. Now 3.5 weeks later last night I was working in yard and felt what was maybe an insect bite or just the irritation of 7 bug bite looking things (rash)on the back of my neck. Today the area is painful and a little achey (achy) and somewhat itchy.  I also see one or two red spots on each side of by body torso like a blemish or bite. Not sure. I can't tell if I am just obsessing on things that always occurred with those or not but its making me very anxious.  Lizzy or Teak what is your respected opinion.   Thank you for reading.

No you have to come into direct contact with the syphilis sore and it is not on her breast.
