According to the NHS website, the symptoms of syphilis are as follows:
stage 1 (primary syphilis) – symptoms of syphilis begin with a painless but highly infectious sore on the genitals, or sometimes around the mouth. If somebody else comes into close contact with the sore, typically during sexual contact, they can also become infected. The sore lasts two to six weeks before disappearing.
stage 2 (secondary syphilis) – secondary symptoms, such as a skin rash and sore throat, then develop. These symptoms may disappear within a few weeks, after which you experience a latent (hidden) phase with no symptoms, which can last for years. After this, syphilis can progress to its third, most dangerous stage.
stage 3 (tertiary syphilis) – around a third of people who are not treated for syphilis will develop tertiary syphilis. At this stage, it can cause serious damage to the body.
If you have had none of these symptoms, it may be hard to date when you were infected. Many people don't have symptoms for years once past the initial infection.
Yaws is in the same family as syphilis, but syphilis is far more common, especially as you were born here.
I can understand why you are so upset. If you have definitely not had sex with anybody else, or shared needles, is there any chance your partner got the disease, and got it treated, without you knowing? His tests would show up negative then?
The good news is that it can now be treated, which will save you a lot of trouble in the future.
Try to keep positive. There are far worse STI's out there so you should count your blessings (that helps me sometimes). Hopefully you will be able to get to the bottom of this soon enough. xx

Just focus on the NOW, not necessary before. And people lie about things like this, when you asked previous ones if they are negative. Believe it or not, most people will not get tested or cleared up. So, you have to think about yourself.
You can take Echinacea - tea form or pill form every day to assist on keeping your immune up to par. I would look into my nutrition to remove all sugar and intake of water. You have to stay healthy because what damage the infection has caused to your body. I would sugges to avoid non-protected sex until you finally get this resolved and you stay out of the window of issues.
I heard that this infection has different markers of degrees to infection, perhaps thats the stages of phases it can progress. Thats why, in the meantime, to focus on the herbal teas in being proactive.
But look into a physician specialised in this area because most clinics never have an answer only more questions for you.
Hope for the best for you.
