If you have intact skin, your skin would protect you against anything being transmitted this way, including syphilis. And, you don’t know that the person who helped you had syphilis as the rash could have been any number of things. Washing your hands after you touched the computer and wiping the computer off with a disinfectant would have further protected you from transmission of any organism.
