      hi julius..tq for replying me..

      id already went to clinic and the doctor gave 1 shot of penicillin without doing std testing.

      he said same what u mentioned it..

      and yes i have unprotected sex with same person 3 weeks ago.

      but can the penicillin prevent the chancre starting to pop up later?

      Yes, it can prevent primary chancres of syphilis .. You should take routine blood test of VDRL or TPHA test after 2 months of treatment

      you should worry about SECONDARY SYPHILIS and LATENT SYPHILIS , not about HIV ..

      HIV causes by HIV VIRUS.. , Syphilis causes by BACTERIA .. Generally, if you google it HIV patients have higher chance of syphilis or vice versa

      if you feel paranoid, Take HIV antibody test after 4 months

      penicillin shots are better way to treat this

      You should take routine syphilis test 3-6 months .. LATENT or teritary syphilis causes organ damage or affect brain or eyes if you left untreated.
