Question 1

is a negative syphilis test at 8 weeks conclusive?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If in doubt or you are sure you were exposed, repeat the test in 2-3 months.

Question 2

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 3

is a negative hiv 4th gen duo test at 8 weeks post potential exposure conclusive? what about a negative syphilis rpr test at 8 weeks?

Accepted Answer

: The AgAb (4th generation) HIV tests for sure are conclusive any time after 6 weeks. Precise data actually do not exist for RPR, even though RPR and its predecessor tests (VDRL, Wasserman) have been in use for over 100 years. Some experts believe it can take up to 3 months. However, probably 98% or more reliable at 8 weeks, especially if the exposure wasn't particularly high risk.

Question 4

hiv & syphilis testing question.

is a negative hiv rna test and negative syphilis rpr with no symptoms at 6 weeks i ost exposure conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: The syphilis result is conclusive. The HIV result probably is as well, but RNA testing can miss a small percentage of infections. For truly conclusive result, have an antigen-antibody (AgAb, "4th generation") HIV blood test at 6+ weeks.

Question 5

is a negative syphilis test at 84 days with blood drawn from a vein conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: Yes,  84 days after  sexual contact with an infected partner if you were infected with syphilis both the RPR and the Treponema antibody test would be positive. If either is negative you are not infected

Question 6

is a negative result using an at home syphilis antibody rapid test using the colloidal gold method ( comes with test pad and assay solution and uses blood from finger) conclusive after 6 weeks?

Accepted Answer

: Probably yes, but little research has been done on this particular test. If syphilis is seriously suspected, it might be best to check again 3 months after exposure.

Question 7

hi there, is a negative syphilis blood test (finger prick sent off to a lab for testing) conclusive at 9 weeks after exposure? wondering whether to re test or to move on from it, do many peoples results change after this period? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: For a completely conclusive result, testing after 12 weeks is recommended. You can validate this by calling your local department of public health.

Question 8

is a negative syphilis total-serum blood test done at a lab after 6&1/2 weeks as well as a negative rapid test using gold colloidal method done at home after 6&1/2 was conclusive? exposure was a handjob only from sex worker. nothing else?

Accepted Answer

: Zero risk exposure, testing wasn't necessary. But yes, the results are conclusive at the times you state.

Question 9

is a negative result on a syphilis lab antibody test at 8, 12 and 14 weeks conclusive? along with a negative rpr refl titer and confirmatory testing at 14 weeks. i just want to put my anxiety to rest?

Accepted Answer

: Negative test at 14 weeks should be conclusive. However, I do not understand why the reflex titer was done if the RPR had been negative. Take care.

Question 10

is a hiv 4th gen duo and rpr syphilis test conclusive at 45 days? i got a negative result but have been super itchy in palms / soles of feet (no visible rash) along with neck pain near lymph nodes, and body aches post low risk exposure 4 months ago?

Accepted Answer

: Both tests are conclusive, proving both that you do not have either infection and that neither one is the cause of your symptoms. In addition, the rashes of HIV and syphilis almost never itch. They don't cause pain like you describe either. See a doctor and look to other causes of your symptoms. Good luck.
