Welcome to the Forum it will be my pleasure to comment. this was q virtually no risk contact. Even if your partner did happen to have syphilis, receipt of oral sex (scrotal licking or analingus) carries negligible risk for syphilis (or other STI) acquisition. Further, in your specific case, the fact that would were taking amoxicillin at the time of your exposure would have prevented infection. Finally, even if you had been in contact with syphilis, your course of doxycycline would have also prevented syphilis if exposed.
I see no reason at all for concern. In fact, give the history that you have provided, I probably would not have suggested testing in the first place and I certainly see no reason for additional testing at this time. You are in the clear. EWH
