A member asked:
Would taking cipro or bactrim affect the test results of syphilis test? or herpes, hepatitis test? does cipro treat syphilis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: Ciprofloxacin and sulfa-trimethprim (Bactrim) do not treat syphilis and are completely ineffective against it. They have no effect on blood test results for syphilis, herpes or hepatitis.
