Hey, I have been in a relationship with a woman for about 2 years now, monogamously. She has been with 2 men before me (orally), but I have not contracted anything from her. (I was tested after about 8 months of being with her for HIV and everything) However I have a couple concerns:

-She always develops these mouth sores that are very, very similar in color and attributes to those of canker sores.

Now, my question is: What is the differents between canker sores and syphlitic chancroids in appearance? Are these syphilitic chancroids or minor canker sores?


I have always gotten canker sores in my mouth, sometimes and in fact I have one right now. It is a white discoloration, somewhat like a bump and it hurts when I bite it. Could this be a sign of syphilis stage 1?

Remember i was tested 8 months ago.

Please respond when you get the time.

Thank you,
