Hello Doctors, almost 5 years ago I had a one night exposure with a female CSW in NYC. We had protected vanginal and unprotected oral sex. A few days later I developed a few small white bumps on my lips which my doctor thought was herpes so I was given valtrex.

At four months I was prescribed biaxin 10 days for a sinus infection. At five months a urologist prescribed Cipro for 30 days for prostatitis and then doxycline for 10 days followed by 7 days after a 7 day period also for prostatitis. About a year later I developed a rash on my back which hurt and went away in about 7-10 days which my doctor said was shingles, 4 and a half years later I have developed tinnitus and some hearing loss, Syphilis was never checked for, is it possible that I could have developed syphilis and the meds that I received did not treat it?
