Syphilis

I went to a massage parlor and I got a **. The proble is as follows. She bent over in fro of me to get me excited. She touched her inner thighs. Assume she touched her vaginal and had fluids in her fingers. She got the condom from her braw. And touched the condom with fingers. She put it the wrong way so she turned it around and put condom with her mouth. I might have have had tiny red bumps (herpes). I finished quick. 30 secs. She tooled condom out with napkins. I touched some fluids with right hand. They were fresh. I grabbed tissues poured alcohol and began to clean penis. I then pressed  my penis head after I cleaned alcohol hard with left thumb and with right that had tissue mixed with alcohol and fluids rubbed urethra deep.
A couple days later sharp head pains and burning urination, tip of penis red and where I had pressed with thumb red. A week later, fever, slight body aches, nodes jerking, groin node jerking, aching arm pit, dry mouth hard to swallow. A little nightsweat, diareah for a day, lack of appetite. Later i found one of tonsil looked red and slightly swollen. At that time had heater on car sometimes. Two weeks post my salver glands swelled up somewhat, they come and go still. But mostly a little swollen.
5weeks post bump in penis found, started going away after I used Gillet shower gel, and tried stretching it little by little. When it got smaller it Looked like it wanted to form circle and crater. But I took showers daily and went away slowly  in a week. That week I might have sweat on genital and I masturbated with clothes on. I am uncut. I masterbater with foreskin over. Now I am scared I got syphilis. And if I got syphilis, how about HIV. I DID NOT DO ANAL OR VAGINAL OR FINGERING OR KISSING. I wonder if her lip accidentally touched penis or condom then turnaround and give me syphilis. If I can get syphilis then HIV?

You are definitely overthinking all this.  These additional comments do not change my opinion or advice, except to advise not using alcohol on your penis in the future.  I can't say it caused any of your symptoms, but it's quite irritating.  A little soap and water is sufficient hygiene after sex.

No more discussion until and unless you report your test results, as suggested above.

correction. Two days before I saw it i masturbated with clothes but did not finish. The day I saw it I did masturbate with clothes and did finish. This never happen before I masturbate. The only difference, is I probably had a fungal infection in inner thighs because of bad hygiene at that time.

Thanks a million doctor. That really has calmd me down.
Well there is nothing to explained about the bump. I MIGHT have seen a slight irritation in that area before I saw the bump. Bumpy the first time I saw it was when I finished masturbating with my clothes on. It was raised but it was not a round bump it looked longated and oval and slightly raised. Two days before I masturbated with clothes on but did not finished this I did finished. It was raised for about two - three days then it was going away, after I applied Gillet shower gel ( one time only). The rest of the days I just applied warm water and sometimes shampoom. I did touch it stretch it but did not feel hard. It looked like there was a midle like it wanted to form a crater but it was only for two days max. In it's final days it just look like my skin wanted to heal. It looked circular and my skin was healing. I think I would have noticed before even though I am uncircumsized and foreskin covers my head. Overly it lasted a week. It stayed slightly raised for two-three days. I hope my touching did nonstop it's full potential.
I did irritate penis with alcohol, so I wondering if I infected myself???? I touched her leg with the fingered that pressed that ara. I might have touched the condom with that thumb to. The only other possibility is if she had a sore in mouth and touched my penis by accident. Or when she tried to put condom down she kissed then turned it around. But I guess I am over thinking this. I think I touched vaginal fluids that went into urethra when I tried to clean myself an d pulled for skin over once it was irritated???
The only other thing that could have exposed me was the things she touched that she gave me, bottle of alcohol an box of tissues, if they had her fluids.
One more thing my doc gave me a shot in the butt at least two months before incident would that have any affect?? On why the bump does not seem to be a typical syphilis bump.
She supplied condom in napkin. Now I am questioning it. Condom integrity and deterioration.
I appreciate your comments above.

Welcome to the STD forum.  Bottom line:  You are not at risk at all for syphilis, HIV, or any other STD from the events described.

You misunderstanding STDs and how they are transmitted.  These bacterria and viruses evolved in such a way that they cannot be transmitted without unprotected sex:  with rare exceptions, if a bare penis (i.e. without a condom) isn't inserted into a partner's vagina, anus, or mouth, transmission does not occur.  They cannot be transmitted by the small amounts of secretions that might be on fingers etc.  And how your partner applied the condom also makes no difference.  Here is another thread that explains the biology of HIV and STD transmission in more detail.  Start reading with the follow-up comment dated December 14:    http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/1119533

Second, the chance that any particular sensual massage worker or other commercial sex worker has syphilis or HIV is very low.  There are only around 20,000 new syphilis infections per year in the US, and two thirds of those occur in gay men.

Third, your symptoms are not suggestive of syphilis or HIV.  As for the penile "bump" and redness, you don't describe them enough for me to make even an educated guess about the possible causes.

The proper approach to diagnosing any unexplained symptom is to visit a health professional.  Your primary care provider would be a good start, or you could visit your local health department's STD clinic.  While you're there, for reassurance you should be tested for both HIV and syphilis.  This doesn't mean I think you have either one; I do not.  But the negative test results probably will reassure you more than my words can.

Feel free to return with a comment and let me know the diagnosis after you are examined, and your HIV and syphilis test results.  In the meantime, don't be worried about the outcome.  There is no chance you have either syphilis or HIV from your massage parlor exposure, and I doubt other STDs as well.

I hope this helps.  Best wishes-   HHH, MD

Correction: 2 weeks post incident I noticed salivary glands swollen, and nodes under jaw. 5 weeks post incident, bump on penis. The scary thing is I had no mucus during my symptoms. I thought I was safe. Sorry for the corrections.

Correction, before bump I masturbated and had sweat and masturbated with clothes on. I think i masturbated with Foreskin over penis. The girl was Latina In California and I heard she travels to San Diego a border town.

Correction on spelling. She gave me oral only. Bump on penis head only. I wonder if I got it when I cleaned with alcohol and then I pressed hard with thumb. Then I covered penis head foreskin. But no bump on foreskin or finger. So maybe from lip/mouth, accidental touch as I describe above. Maybe condom she supplied that was not in wrapper was bad.
