Question 1

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 2

what tests would be fully reliable for diagnosing syphilis one year after a potential exposure?

Accepted Answer

Blood test: Your doctor or health dept can order the appropriate blood tests.

Question 3

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 4

i just got negative result on syphilis! (6weeks and 5 days after exposure) can i move on with this test result???

Accepted Answer

: Yes But pl be careful next time

Question 5

8 months post possible exposure, results of vdrl and tpha tests are non-reactive. can these results be considered conclusive for not having syphilis?

Accepted Answer

Yes, conclusive: These tests are conclusive any time 6 weeks or more after the last possible exposure.

Question 6

is a syphilis test accurate after just about five years after last exposure?can syphilis disappear before then?shold i still be woried?nontreponemal?

Accepted Answer

tested? ask tester!: Your question is interesting, but incomplete. Most importantly, what known exposure you had and what treatment if any? Next what test did you have to determine if you are truly negative this time? If you had syphilis in the past and were treated with a typical regimen, this is highly effective. If you had NO further exposures you would not be likely to have active disease.  Ask tester to review!

Question 7

i did vdrl and tpha syphilis tests the result negative .. can tge tests detect the disease after many years? firs exposure 2010 i did the test in 2018

Accepted Answer

You're good: Consider yourself healthy. Nobody's sure how many folks recover on their own and have their tests revert, but you can relax. Although I hope you'll use barrier protection until you're in a stable marriage, I also hope you'll cherish the memory of having shared love, as imperfect as it always is.

Question 8

i got tested for syphilis 8 weeks post exposure and the test was negative. the exposure was kiss and brief manual mutual stimulation. is this test conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: In your scenario the possibility is negligible. I would accept the test result. But pl be very careful with whom you have sexual relations.

Question 9

dear dr. if a person have syphilis like symptoms from 4-5 weeks post exposure, but negative rpr and wr test at 4, 7 and 11 weeks and 6 days post exposure. what are your opinion would you recommend more testing or is this conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: I think you're the same person who asked questions on another forum about syphilis in a zero risk situation. These results are conclusive. Your obsession with this is quite abnormal, suggesting a likely underlying emotional/psychological problem. Counseling may be in order, which I suggest from compassion, not criticism. Good luck.

Question 10

how accurate is an instant immunoassay syphilis test at 71 days exposure?

Accepted Answer

: I would check.with the local lab as they should know exactly which test was done and the effect of what the local syphilis bug does in people like you who are getting exposed in Ireland. Use protection.
