Question 1

when is a rpr test conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: Six weeks.

Question 2

false rpr test what cause them?

Accepted Answer

Syphilis Testing: I am very curious by your question.  It is difficult to have a false positive for syphilis so i would make sure that you are getting the right information and that a follow up test is scheduled.  Latent syphilis can have deadly consequences so making sure you are un-infected is paramount.

You may be interested to know that syphilis can be contracted by skin to skin, saliva and blood and semen.

Question 3

what does a reactive rpr test mean?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: A reactive RPR may mean that you have an infection with the organism that causes syphilis (t. Pallidum).  You may need to have additional testing to confirm.  If you're infected, you will need to take medication to treat it.

Question 4

what does a non reactive rpr test mean?

Accepted Answer

No syphilis: Individual who tests negative on RPR syphilis screening does not have syphilis or has not had one in recent years.

Question 5

is rpr test at 8 week (56th day) show negative result. is it conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, conclusive.

Question 6

would an rpr test be accurate after just about five years? should i still be worried after a negative result?

Accepted Answer

RPR test: Might or might not. Was it + before? Did you have chancer? Did they swab it and see the little squiggly things in the pus?  Do you know if  your partner at the time was + or has developed the Syph?  Has he she or it gone mad? Usually takes longer than 5 years.  Trust you are wearing a condom (rubber) now.

Question 7

should i get retested for syphilis if my rpr test came back positive?

Accepted Answer

Where is 2nd part?: An appropriate syphilis test involves two stages: the RPR is done first- if positive,  a confirmatory test such as an ' fta-abs' must be done. The 2-stage test is more cost effective and decreases the number of 'false positive'  results. Due to a number of circumstances, the RPR test could be a false positive test. Discuss this important question further with your ordering doctor.

Question 8

i got a negative rpr test 3 weeks after exposure. am i safe with syphilis?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Repeat it at eight weeks. It's not a bad idea for a guy with a social life to get checked for HIV and syphilis yearly. If the syphilis test turns up positive, there's plenty of time before any damage can be done.

Question 9

is a negative syphilis rpr test at 6 weeks and 8 weeks post exposure considered a conclusive result?

Accepted Answer

: More or less. If would be preferable to repeat the test a 6 months after exposure.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 10

how soon does an rpr test detect syphilis? i 
have seen all kinds of answers. some say as early as 2 weeks some say 90+ days?

Accepted Answer

: RPR can become positive as soon as 2 weeks after exposure, but that's unusual. Usually it takes 4-6 weeks, and testing at 6 weeks and beyond is usually considered conclusive. However, in rare cases it can take longer. If the exposure was particularly high risk for syphilis, another option is an EIA test, which is almost always conclusive by 6 weeks.
