Your only problem is anxiety; syphilis does not cause any of the symptoms that you describe. You described a low risk exposure in your thread of August 7. To your questions:
1, 10) Syphilis antibodies show up within 6 weeks and your negative syphilis test at 8 weeks proves you did not catch syphilis.
2-8) No STD causes any of the symptoms you describe. You do not have herpes, syphilis, HIV, or any other STD.
9) A negative HIV test any time after 8 weeks proves you did not catch HIV.
11) You do not need further STD testing.
You don't have syphilis. You need to see a mental health professional about your anxiety. No follow-up questions, please. I won't have any other replies.
