Hello, 18 months ago I thought I had contracted syphilis in an unprotected encounter. I was tested 4 times in the past 15 months because I had exhibited signs/symptoms of this diease, penile redness/indentation of the skin, shiny "snail type tracks" under the head of the penis, fatigue, headaches, white patches on side of tongue, rash that comes and goes over different parts of the body. All my blood tests were negative. I admitted my mistake to my wife months ago. She is 12 weeks pregnant and was tested for syphilis and other std's 2 weeks ago and was negaitve on all of them. I still have these symptoms which now include dark freckle type spots on the head of my penis as well as the other symptoms I described above. My wife has been very tired, has a constant nasal drip, and seems to have a sinus infection. I just havent felt like myself for months now, obviously some of these syptoms could be attributed to stress but not all of them. Do my 4 neg. tests and my wifes neg. test guarantee that we are syphilis free? Or is there a remote possiblity that all of those tests could have been false negatives? I would be beside myself with guilt if I caused our future child to aquire congenitial syphilis. I just need to know my wife and I havent been very unlucky in getting tainted test results or mishandling of blood smaples, ect.
Thx for your time, D
