STD from a deep kissing encounter

[drator]

Hello,

11 days ago I was with a girl and we franch kissed for quite a while ( several times over 30 minutes).

It has been now 5 days ( so day 6 to 11 after the encounter) that I am feeling very fatigue and with a stiff neck an muscle/join aches.

I already had herpes before but I wanted to know about the possibly of other std from this encounter especially Syphilis. It really stresses me out and I think this also makes the symptoms even worst .

Totally agree. I'd wonder why you aren't thinking something like covid instead of an STD. If your symptoms linger, see your doctor.

I though about it too and got tested first thing. But I was negative.

I was actually wondering about my symptomes. Could they be happening that early in a syphillis infection or is it only during the 2nd stage and onwards?

Thanks again to the 2 of you. You are an amazing help and source of reassurance through your factual and direct replies

This is not a syphilis infection. Perhaps EBV, or something else, but it is not syphilis.

Work with your doctor on it, but it is NOT an STD from kissing.

Actually, I tested for syphilis after 2 weeks and 3 weeks (antibody+rpr+tdlr) . Their lab says they are 95% accurate after that time ...

I tested for Lyme disease and got positive ( old  infection) so my doc puted me on doxy.

Yet this evening I just happened to have a lip sore.....What is the likelihood that this could be syphilis. I am really scared right now...

( the 2 syphilis tests were negative)

Impossible.

No, deep kissing isn't going to expose you to std's other than what you already mentioned hsv 1 which 80 percent of the population has been exposed to (not a big deal). Syph isn't typically transferred by kissing.
