Window period for syphilis and antibiotics?
Hello!
About 7 weeks ago I performed an unprotected fellatio on a unknown man. Two days later I was given a shot of ceftriaxone as an STD's precaution.
1. I've read on the internet that the conclusive window test for syphils RPR is 3 months. Is this correct? Becouse I've also read that people need to be tested up to 6 minths. And what is prozone reaction for RPR test and how it could be ruled out?
2. Now I wonder if this shot of ceftriaxone could influence the window period for syphilis? And when I should be tested for syphilis to get a conclusive result taking into consideration that ceftriaxone shot?
3. What about oral ghonorrea? Should I be worried about it after a ceftriaxone shot? I've heard it is very hard to be diagnosed.

My info on syphilis is limited but here are my best answers
1. Dr's on this site often say 6 weeks is conclusive
2. I am sure it is possile but probably unlikely because if anything it would have a possibility to cure it. I say 6 weeks is still valid
3. Diagnosed is easy from a throat swab, but oral gonorrhea is uncommon and oral syphilis is even more uncommon.
I would not worry about either.
