Syphillis transmission
I was a patient at an sti clinic and had a blood test. I know for a fact that the nurse saw a syphillis patient before me and took their blood, she did a blood test on me straight after and she did not wash her hands or wear gloves. I have had a small firm palpule on my arm where she put the needle in that formed 10 days after the test and has not changed in about 3 days. Can syphillis remain on someone's hand and be transferred onto my skin and enter into my bloodstream

No, it won't transfer through skin contact, and it will not enter your bloodstream. You need not to worry about.
