Hello,
Syphilis infection is transmitted by sexual route. But there is no such thing that definitely you will get by doing sex, it depends on our body immunity. That is the reason why you didn't get infection through your wife.
Is your wife using treatment for syphilis infection? If it is completely cured, then there is no way of getting infection from your wife.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Syphilis is treatable and is well responding to antibiotics. I would suggest you also to take Doxycycline drug for 2 weeks even if your VDRL test is negative.
