Azithromycin dosage for syphilis

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

I read that 2 MG azithromycin cures syphilis so I was thinking of eating 8 tablets of the medicine all at once. The other issue is that I do no know if I have syphilis, there is no way for me to test for it in the country I am staying. But I have put myself at risk for the disease unfortunately. So it is still safe if I do not have it and consume the pills just in case Or is it better to take 500 MG of azithromycin for three days?
