May I be infected by a syphilis patient who has just been cured for a month

Hello everyone, I had unprotected oral sex with a nurse who had just been cured of syphilis last week.

She just received an RPR negative report three months ago.

I would like to ask if I will be infected?
and what is the chance of me being infected?

And we only had unprotected oral sex, I'm really scared now

correct it, she received a negative RPR report last month, which should have been cured earlier this year, and she already received three injections

Transmitting syphilis via oral is pretty uncommon as an Guitar said, she has a negative test result meaning she has nothing to transmit.
I agree with this. If she's negative, she no long has syphilis, and therefore can't transmit it.

If I had strep throat a few months ago, and took antibiotics for it, I can't transmit it now, right? You're really okay.
But I am really afraid that some small viruses will enter my urethra and infect me. Is it possible?
No. This fear is totally misplaced. When the person is cured, they are cured. If trace of a virus is still there, then the person would not be cured.

There is no risk here at all - relax and try to address the anxiety issues
This forum is only for STD questions, and we agree that the issue you are now experiencing is related to anxiety. We hope you are able to address that aspect of your health.

If she was treated, she wouldn't have been contagious.

Is it not contagious even after only one month of treatment, sir? Thank you for your reply. I am really worried now
If she had finished treatment and received a negative test result, she is cured. You can't transmit something you no longer have.
But I see other professionals saying that if her ratio is greater than 1-4, I may also be infected. Is this correct? But there are others who say oral sex won't infect syphilis. Thank you for your reply, sir
