Syphilis and antibiotics
Hi - I had an unsafe exposure 6 weeks ago. And the following happened:
I kind of freaked out and did chlamydia and gonorroe tests at 7 days and after taking the test I took azithromycine (1gram). The tests came back negative and at 4 weeks I tested negative for chlamydia gonorroe syphilis and hiv.
I re-took the syphilis and hiv tests at 40 days. Both negative.
My question is though: can the azithromycine (1gram) affect the tests for Syphilis? If so, will it extend the window period? I heard it will not have an affect of the tests, but would like to have more input on this issue…
Perhaps somebody here can help me out?

It should not have any bearing on the test. A test at this stage will be conclusive.
