Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM
Detailed Answer:
If you didnt experience any symptoms such as skin ulcers,bumps, urethral discharge or pain in genitals then possibility of siphilis is very low. However in some cases it can be asymptomatic for few year so I would recommend syphilis testing just to be 100% sure. There is no need for treatemnt if there isnt proven infection. If it is proven then it can be easily treated today with 3 weeks course of antibiotics. WIsh you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards
