Consider why: Foremost is why are you so worried that it was wrong? You need to id this fear / guilt / whatever and relay it to your dr so you can get adequate testing. Then, if persisting concern, can always be retested, but if haven't done #1 first, will likely feel it is false (-) also and so on. Address primary concern and then get relief w/(-) evaulation--then use safe sex! condoms always!

Reassurance : It's fairly accurate to help diagnose syphilis - if you like, the test can be repeated. It's not that expensive :).
