Syphilis window period

Hello, Id like to know if syphilis has a window period that has to be waited before testing like HIV for example. Or can it be tested right away after possibel exposure.

Thank you

So no need to test for anything then, after this exposure?

Syphilis in developed countries is rare and even rarer in women. On average a syphilis sore shows at 21 days and it does not go away the next day. Google a picture of a syphilis sore.

Its been 2 weeks since I got a 1 minute aprox. blowjob from a CSW. A week later i noticed the tiniest little spot (inwards like a little cut about 1 mm) that dissapeared the next day. I have had that before from candida fungi, so it was familiar to me. (I had cream)

My question is now, 2 weeks later what is the likelyhood of syphilis? should I worry at all about this? wjhat happens if I test now?

Thank you

6 weeks from possible exposure will give you a good test result.
