A member asked:
When you have a syphilis lesion would the blood test be able to detect syphilis in blood by then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Primary syphilis is a painless ulcer on the genitals. Generally available tests do not become positive for two to six weeks. Experienced physicians can diagnose clinically and treat.
