A member asked:
What are the chances of syphilis thru kissing? last encounter was 30 days with someone i thought i trusted. had vaginal sex, no oral given, and have a small clear painless bump on lip. i did a blood test 12 days after - neg. did i test too early?

Syphilis can be transmitted by kissing, but rarely. "Painless bump" doesn't suggest syphilis. And the negative blood test also is reassuring: blood tests usually are positive within a week of onset of chancre. For additional reassurance, you could have another test in a couple more weeks.

Syphilis is rare ly spread just by kissing but by sex. If the person has it then you need to see your doc for possible treatment and proper testing
