Syphilis
Hello,
I've had reoccuring yeast infections. So I finally went into a free clinic to get testing down. They tested for infections even though I'm NOT sexually active. They said my syphillus test came back inconclusive and I told them I don't have sex ( or oral). I told them I took medicine for yeast infection and they said that's probably a reason why. This all happened in the summer. I didn't get retested because I didn;t worry until recently. I found out that my older sibling had syphilis and we sit on the same shower bench in the bathroom (I literally would sit on it to shower right after she used it), and I stopped wearing underwear to help with my yeast infections while in the house and I know I touched down there without washing my hands after touching all around the house and bathroom. I'm afraid that I do have by accidentally touching her fluid from either the bath bench or just around the house and touched down there. I called my school clinic and apparently I have to get blood work order first. Idk if the clinic I got tested at will keep results since I got tested in July. At some point in the summer I had a weird rash on hands that were kind of like scraps but it can possibly be from washing my hands a lot. also my scalp is sore often in certain spots. And I got BV again so Idk if they are signs but everything started last December. Idk when she had the virus but I definitely saw the medication for it.

Okay it's just that I've been reading that you can catch it from an intermediate object like clothes. So I assumed that maybe I touched or sat on her fluids.
