is it possible to get syphillis without any sexual contact?
I was recently diagnosed with syphillis. I have not had any sexual contact with anyone since October 2016 and want to know if it is at all possible that I could have contracted this through my work. As a carpet fitter I cut up bedroom and bathroom flooring in situ. Having had a lung infection from this once before I want to know if I could have breathed in dried infected bodily fluids from flooring I have cut. I know it sounds far fetched but to me having sex in 2016 and getting ill in 2018 sounds far fetched too.

Hi no cant get syphilis as you describe and also if you tested positive then you need a second more accurate test to confirm it. with out the second test NATT, you cannot conclude you have it.
