Is a syphilis test accurate after just about five years after last exposure?can syphilis disappear before then?shold i still be woried?nontreponemal?

tested? ask tester!: Your question is interesting, but incomplete. Most importantly, what known exposure you had and what treatment if any? Next what test did you have to determine if you are truly negative this time? If you had syphilis in the past and were treated with a typical regimen, this is highly effective. If you had NO further exposures you would not be likely to have active disease. Ask tester to review!
