Unless you had anal sex you do not have syphilis.

Syphilis is only transmitted with direct contact with a syphilis sore and happens where it is touched.

Also syphilis is rare in the US.

there is absolutely no reason for any blood testing from this!! your anxiety is the issue here, not any real risk!!

if you have ongoing symptoms, see your  medical provider for a proper exam and help with your anxiety.

toilet water is not a risk for std's.  Even though there certainly is bacteria in toilet water, it's not an issue with what little ends up on your genital/anal area when you flush or water gets splashed up onto you. Even an open wound isn't an issue.
