You're home free. The risk of acquiring syphilis by kissing and mutual masturbation is zero or close to it; ditto for penisoto-penis contact. And doxycycline would prevent syphilis if you were exposed.

Thanks for the quick response. I am much relieved. You didn't mention the possible light penis-anus contact though...is this also nothing to worry about? Also, out of interest, is it possible to get infected if there are no syphilis sores present, as I have read that they do not always materialise at the sight of infection.
Thanks again.
I misread your question as saying penis-penis contact, not penis-anus. But the answer is the same. Syphilis cannot be transmitted by light contact; the organism has to get into the skin, not just on it.

I was tested positive for Syphilis after discovering a sore on the underside of my penis. I understand that it takes between 10 and 90 days after contracting the disease for a sore to appear, and much to my regret I had unprotected sex with a girl during this intervening period. What are the chances of transmitting the disease before a sore appears?
Thanks in advance
