Herpes, HPV,warts are transmitted by skin to skin contact. HIV requires exchange of bodily fluids to enter your blood stream. You would have to touch a syphilitic sore to contract syphilis. Observe for any lesions and, for peace of mind, get tested for HIV in 3 weeks and 3 months and test for syphilis after 4 weeks.
