Hi and welcome. If you tested 6 weeks post exposure for syphilis it is conclusive.
Thanks life, its just that I read that syphilis may not show up positive if there are no symptoms. Is that true? I wasn't even concerned with syphilis when I took my panel unti that night when a canker sore appeared.
If you took the test 6 weeks post exposure then you dont have it bottom line. OK?
Yes. 6 weeks to the day. Thanks, life.
it doesn't matter whether you have symptoms or not when you test by blood for syphilis.
really, no reason to think this is a std at all. have you ever had canker sores orally before?

Grace, I can't remember the last time I did. I just thought it strange that a canker sore show on the exact day of week 6.
probably just coincidence. worrying can cause you to bite the inside of your mouth too and cause these.
Im just having a hard time not dwelling on it. I'm sure its just guilt and stress.
keep yourself busy and have fun - best way to stop over thinking things :)
Thank you grace and life for your insight. I really do appreciate it. Would either of you recommend retesting or was the 6 week test sufficient?
Thank you Grace and Life. I really do appreciate your help. Would either if you recommend retesting? Or was 6 week test sufficient.
Have you ever seen a 6 week negative turn positive later?
Thanks life. I am working very hard on accepting the 6 week negative result. I do appreciate your input.
Since I performed oral sex on her, would it be possible to get the chancre on the inside of my cheek?
obsessing dear!! stop thinking about this and keep busy!!
Well, I did my 12 week test for Syphilis and HIV. It all came back negative just like you guys said it would. I wanted to come back and thank Grace and Life for there help. I do have one last question. I am still getting sores on the inside of my cheek and sometimes on my tongue. Is there anything STD related that I should go get checked for?
