A member asked:

Is chemiluminescence immunoassay a treponemal test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Chemiluminescence is an indicator in many immuno- assays. It is not a test per se.

A member asked:

I've read that Treponemal tests can only detect syphilis after a chancre has appeared, anything before that could be a false negative. I've tested at 8 weeks and 90 days (non-reactive), no chancres that I've noticed. Are these conslusive?
