Syphilis/antibiotics and detection

A woman whom I have seen occasionally was diagnosed with syphilis. I am not sure if our last encounter was before or after she was exposed (she thinks it was before). My concern is that I have taken antibiotics for two different ailments since then. Can I get tested and know if I have antibodies etc.? I am worried I am cured now but passed it on without knowing before I took the antibiotics.

Yes a test 6 weeks after last exposure will be conclusive if you were infected.
