I think you're the same person who asked questions on another forum about syphilis in a zero risk situation. These results are conclusive. Your obsession with this is quite abnormal, suggesting a likely underlying emotional/psychological problem. Counseling may be in order, which I suggest from compassion, not criticism. Good luck.

'Syphilis -like symptoms' is very vague. With those test results chances are close to nil. But if you had a chancre on your penis pl see your infectious disease doc or a VD clinic
