A member asked:
Would 28 days after exposure syphilis blood test be accurate and when you have a lesion does that mean syphikis is detect. in blood?

May be: The test for syphilis may be positive 28 days after exposure, but a negative result would not rule infection and you should repeat the test in three months. It would be prudent to see your doctor immediately if you have a lesion.
