A member asked:
Heard ex from 18 yrs ago had syphilis years after we split.. have been pregnant twice since and had nr results 10&15 years after. is that reliable?

Reliable, no worries: The syphilis blood tests are highly accurate and your negative results prove that you either were never infected; or if you were, that the infection has been contained by your immune system (or treated effectively, e.g. if you received antibiotics for other infections). For sure no worries at this time.
