Dr. I had a exposure almost 2 years back, I never had symptoms of syphilis, I only had itchy palm after 4 week of exposure. My friend a mbbs doctor told me it is due to dust I have itching in palm. I never had swollen lymph node, rashes,fever or painless sore on private part. Just wanted to know if I am infected with syphilis? How much time it takes for cure.
