If i want to do a syphilis test 3/4 months from exposure, is vdrl or rpr better, may i be informed of the accuracy of the vdrl, tpha, rpr tests, whether at 3/4 months the accuracy can reach 100% to rule out syphilis?

How accurate would a RPR test be for late latent syphilis (approx. 24-30 months after unprotected sex)? Or would a FTA-ABS/VDRL be more accurate?
