Pink bump at base of my penis 4weeks post protected vaginal sex. On thin skin of my scrotum. Raised like a pimple w/ 2 tiny white head the size of pore. Stretch the skin to take a look and 1 of the white head oozed out white stuff. Syphilis chancre?
Is this correct? Syphilis only transmissable after chancre appears. Test will be positive 1-2 weeks after chancre. If partner tested neg 5 weeks after we hooked up then I'm fine as her test would be +ve by this point if she had it & was contagious?
