A member asked:
How accurate is a eia syphilis negative test result at both 6 and 12 weeks? is there margin for a false negative?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There are few data on time to conclusive syphilis EIA test results. Six weeks might be a bit too early, but probably 12 weeks is too long. You can be confident you don't have syphilis.

No test is absolutely fool proof. But chances of it being false neg is near 0 in this scenario
