Should i worry about false positive syphillis rest in pregnancy ?

Specific v sensitime: The screening test for syphilis is quite sensitive but may not be very specific for syphilis, and if not due to syphilis is called false-positive. This can be due to many things and by itself should not worry you. A very specific test is done when the first is positive and if it is negative you are called false-positive.

No: If it is a false positive you do not have the disease.
