A member asked:
Is anti-tp syphillis antibody test accurate at 9-10 weeks post exposure?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is accurate if positive. A negative result at that stage is not definitive and you should repeat the test at 6 months. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

A negative IgM or IgG test at "10 weeks post exposure" should be accurate as an indicator of infection with syphilis.
