Aa
syphilis??
Hello,
I received unprotected oral sex from another male stranger for less than a minute. No other acts. This happened on 25th of July. On the 29th of August, I noticed a boil like thing on my penis shaft, closer to the base. It looked like a boil or pimple but it didn't hurt.. and after a couple of days when I squeezed it, pus came out and after pus, blood came out.. Ive been applying neosporin since then and it's almost subsided now.. no crust or erosion like a syphilis would look. I also shaved my genital area including shaft, a week before I noticed the boil.. so, last week on the 1st of august, I went and got tested for gono, chlamydia and syphilis (RPR). They all came back negative. So here are my questions.
1. Does the sore/pimple sound like a syphilis sore?
2. I tested at 5 weeks and 3 days... But most of you here say that it should be tested at 6 weeks for syphilis. So, is my test result considered definitive or should I retest again?
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Regards.

Thanks Vance. Didn't mean to hurry you. Sorry about that. So you're saying that a syphilis sore can't be squeezed and pus or blood coming out of it like a boil/pimple?.. I'll check with my Dr regarding the tests as you mentioned. Thanks!!!
We are not here 24/7.
1. No
2. I am not sure if an extra couple of days will benefit on a syphilis test. I would ask your Dr.
As for your risk it was very low. Overall I would not be concerned with it.
