Syphilis or other std maybe anxiety

Dear all,

I had vaginal sex with a condom and a prostitute in south east asia touch the shaft and tip of my penis briefly (no condom).
Noted a bump on my penis shaft about 10 days after exposure. Got sick, coughing and white discharge from penis. First doctor told me the bump was not an std. just a small irritation. He thought the discharge was a funghis.subsequently I requested std blood and urine tests (2.5 weeks after exposure). Came back negative. I consulted a second doctor who said this was not a funghis and was unsure about the pimple that was a lot smaller and red know (not an open sore). Got again tested for all std 3 weeks and 6 days after exposure. Waiting on results. I can not focus on work anymore and spend 3 hours per day browsing the internet.

What is the chance that a doctor in the USA would not recognize a syphilis chancre?

What is my chance on a std at this point in time? (2.5 weeks after exposure)

What is the chance of a false negative test result 3 weeks and 6 days after exposure?

Hope you can help.

It is really quite unlikely that briefly touching your penis would infect you with an STD. I suggest you post your questions to our STD Forum @ http://www.medhelp.org/forums/STDs---STIs/show/98

While we can understand your anxiety, I think having your questions answered by the knowledgeable people on the STD Forum will go a long way to calm you down.

We wish you the best
