A member asked:

How could prevent the bacteria that cause your rpr reactive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

STD: Reactive RPR, if confirmed indicates syphilis infection and it would be too late for prevention. You would need to get treated for syphilis. Practicing safe sex would reduced the risk of acquiring syphilis.
