For your reassurance - (rough figures)
Chances she had syphilis (in UK/USA/most developed countries - 1 in 30 000
Chances she had it orally - roughly a fifth of those with syphilis have it orally
Chances you would have seen rash/chancre - 1/4
Chances it passed on - 1/2
Chances you got it without symptoms (or went unnoticed) - 1/5
Chances your doc didn't pick it up - 1/10 (estimation - probably higher)
Chances it gives long term health issues - 1/5
Can you see how low risk you had?

If you suspect syphilis .. which I don't think you have .. go to a doctor or STD clinic. It won't take 2 seconds to get tested and it's worth it - and remember it's not too late for syphilis (takes years to cause long lasting damage usually). I worry like you too (real anxiety issues) and have infact been in your exact situation. The ONLY risks ; gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, syphilis and NSU - nothing else. I went to doc and was only tested for Chlam/Gonn - doc didn't even see any point in testing for syphilis as it's so rare and only in the presence of real symptoms should I go back (painless chancre and rash over hands and feet - feeling unwell too). I hope I have calmed you down - receiving oral is low risk and without any other symptoms you don't need testing!

Okay calm down first of all. I'm not sure where you're from but certainly in most developed countries eg UK and USA syphilis is exceedingly rare. In the UK (similar to US) there are around 3500 effected - 60% of which are homosexual. The amount of people that also have it orally means you should not worry about it - on top of the fact that you didn't see anything, it's not always passed on and she's a sex worker (they often get check ups and are usually clean). Most people also develop symptoms with syphilis (cancre or wide spread rash usually hands and feet are involved). Oh and btw - syphilis doesn't always cause long term health problems (10 - 20 % turn serious without treatment). Can you see that you'll be alright?
