chance of syphilis from kissing

[scared321001]

Lately ive had what seems to be a sore spot in my throat, almost a lump. It lasted about 2 weeks, went away and came back. Ive got a sore throat about 3 weeks later followed by a sore on my stomach and a ringworm like patch on my right arm. I havent had sexual activity with someone other than my wife in 4 years. I have kissed a Juicy girl while deployed to singapore in the last 4 months. What is the likelyhood that i could have contracted syphilis from french kissing. It really wasnt prolonged but my toungue did enter her mouth. What is the likelyhood that a Chancre could have formed in my throat(back of tonsil area). Could this all be stress? Thanks I appreciate your help and time.

This isn't sounding at all like syphilis - the sore wouldn't come back.

You should see your doctor - perhaps you have strep throat or something.

so what are the chances i caught Syphilis from kissing and also can you get a Chancre in your throat. About 2 weeks ago my toungue started feeling very weird, and some of my taste buds started swelling up and were very painful. Thanks for you help.

I have never heard of syphillis spreading from kissing but I assume there would be a chance if you came into direct contact with a sore if the woman you kissed had an active sore.

Symptoms don't really point to syphillis, but you should follow up with your Dr.
