Should I stay scared or not?

I've had unprotected vaginal sex (I'm male) one year ago in Asia, I know she is 43 years old and has one kid of 6. As I haven't spoken to her anymore and don't know her contact details. I've tested for Chlamydia, Gonno after 4 weeks in Hong kong. Negative. I was a bit naive and didn't thought about HIV as someone convinced me at the time the chance is very low in a one time unprotected vaginal sex.  But later 5 month later I had a new girlfriend(old high school girlfriend) for two month and we are pretty serious and were talking about kids etc. so to be sure also for my new girlfriend we both did standard testing chlamydia/gonno (in Hong Kong) and my girlfriend wanted also to do HIV testing. So we also did that. (both negative) :-) but then one of the nurses talked with us about syphilis and Hepatitis B and the internist/doctor came in and  after hearing our experiences before our relationship he said no need for hepatitis B. My girlfriend is vaccinated, but I'm not yet. (I want to do)
I've never experienced any primary syphilis sore (and I was checking regularly in that time) so the doctor said, ah then I don't want to test on syphilis as it's not a chance. My girlfriend only really has had protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral and never experienced a syphilis sore also so also not testen.

Now it comes: After 10 month (post my risk expoture) I started to get a kind of feeling in my right eye (felt like there is sand in my eye corner) and about one month after that I got a cold with especially much snot in the right sinusses. After two weeks suddenly with this snot there is blood in it. I don't snout and I don't cought. It is there now already for a week. And because I readed something about neurosyphilis  and that not everyone has the primary syfilis sore, I'm suddenly a bit scared now. Does this symptom sound like neurosyphilis to anyone and do you know more about this?

I can't find anything on the internet about this, only that occular problems can occure and mostly both eyes.

Hi, thanks. Really if it would be neurosyphilis it would be so bad?  

Ps the doctors said about hep-b not neccesary to test. Is it true that for vaginal sex the chance etc to get hep-b is extremely low?

I'm not a expert on Hepatitis-B but from what I heard from doctors at the STD clinic here the trasnmission of sexual Hepatitis-B is through hetero sex very low. near HIV chances. And some guidelines mentioned 1%, but from what I read that's based on needle incidents and blood/blood.

Dr. Hunter once mentioned: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/hepatitis-b/show/1616164

Furthermore in my country guidelines for Hepatitis B they mentioned that based on blood-blood research they calculated the chance for vaginal sex on 1% approx.

Hi, if you had syphilis for a year now you would not be typing this question as you would have brain damage or even a lengthly hospital stay so your eye issue shouild be be concerning at all. If the girl at the time did not have any genital sore and you did not have an open genital sore for the syphilis to enter, you did not contract syphilis. Test if it would make you more relaxed because obviously this is concerning to you both.
