Your possible exposure is not clear. Your testing for syphilis is not reported. More details are needed. This forum is not for personal advice but for general health information. See your doctor

If you tested negative at 10 weeks after potential exposure, you did not catch syphilis.

If you were tested for syphilis yes it is as confirmatory as possible. It very rarely turns positive after 12 weeks. But pl be very cautious about exposure next time.
