A member asked:
What causes a false positive rpr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of things: Having lupus, being middle-aged or elderly, lyme disease, or just dumb luck. Some say even pregnancy can do it. Glad it was a false-positive -- syphils is still a real nuisance.

Had a test done one was the Syphllis cascade ab reflex which was positive then followed up by RPR which was non reactive then followed by Tppa which was non reactive, what are the chances this was a false positive and I do not have syphllis?
I had an unsafe exposure 2 years ago. Have heard that sometimes RPR (syphilis) can show negative 6 months after exposure but TPHA can show positive. So, how to avoid false negative and how reliable is RPR 6 months after exposure. Need for retesting ?
