Hello,
As per your history, yes, syphilis may spread through oral sex if he had an active penile sore.
For further assessment, kindly do VDRL, RPR, and TPA ABS confirmatory tests after physician consultation.
Along with that kindly watch for symptoms like oral sore, fever, rashes.
Kindly always prefer safe sex. Keep your self hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further.
