You're probably the same person who asked this on a different medical forum. Little or no risk both because there is little chance this woman has syphilis; kissing can transmit syphilis but very rarely; and geographic tongue or red patches would rarely be the only syphilis symptoms. But feel free to be (re)tested if you remain concerned despite the reasoned, science-based advice you have had.
