Overtested: You have been seriously overtested; the negative RPR was nearly conclusive at 30 days and definitely conclusive at 60 days. Depending on the antibiotic, it may have cured early syphillis before the first RPR. Antibiotics do not suppress syphilis test results except by curing it. For sure you do not have syphilis. Stop testing. If you're obsessed about this, which seees likely, consider counseling.

Agree with Dr.H: From the data you provided you do not have syphilis. However, it does not rule out other sexually transmitted infections. Talk to your doctor about getting tested for other STDs. Wish you good health!
