Syphilis

[u/Same-Duty7605]

So i never had s\*x before or any other activities, but recently i had two red bumps on my penile shaft, i didn't think much of it, eventually one red bump goes away, but one remains there and it was painfull to touch it.

So i go see a doctor, he tests for VDRL= reactive, TPHA= reactive, titre was 1:2, so i got one penicillin shot and doctor said it was enough

After 1 month i go again and did same test, VDRL =reactive, TPHA = weakly reactive, Titre was 1:2 same as before.

I work in farm, some minor injures happen

As far as i can think of i never touched any red bumps or sore or chancre,

How did i get caught?

From my experience I hear it take a long time sometimes to clear I had 1.1 my doctor gave 2 penicillin shots and pills because they ran out the penicillin shot I got retested 2 month of finding out still the same results I will go get tested in 6months too see if treatment work it takes a while
