Thanks. Also could i infect infect my wife without present sores
Syphilis is transmitted by direct contact with a sore, but remember that you could also have asymptomatic gonorrhea, chlamydia or NGU.
Chances are lower with oral sex than vaginal or anal sex, but since you had oral with 4 women, and are concerned about infecting your wife, you should test.

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Receiving oral sex puts you at risk for genital herpes type 1 (if you don't already have oral herpes type 1), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU.
If you got syphilis from oral sex, the chancre would be on your penis, not your back. I don't know what the sore on your back was, but the chancre appears at the point of infection. Still, syphilis is easily diagnosed with a simple blood test, so just go test.
Syphilis eye involvement can occur as early as 4 weeks, but can take longer. Just go get tested.
I don't know a lot about MCTD, but if that makes you immunocompromised, you should definitely be using condoms for oral sex.
