The biopsy of a rash resulted in a positive test for syphilis. Every other blood test, I had seven, came back negative. I had the 2 shots of penicillin, felt worse then better as warned. Symptoms remain and I have missed much work. Feel exhausted all the time. Not sure what to do or what happens next. Infected I believe in Dec. treated last Friday.

having the + biopsy of the rash confirms your infection.  there is a false negative rate on the blood tests and it appears that you are one of the few who is experiencing that.

did you have your shot of penicillin as treatment?
