Can vdrl blood test after 3 years of last unprotected sex detect syphilis effectively??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. A laboratory test would be positive for syphilis at three years after exposure. A negative result rules out syphilis infection. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
