A member asked:

Worried about tertiary syphilis from 10y ago, had symptoms but tested negative on trep tests. doc gave me doxy 200x2 a day and tested again after finished, negative again. can doxy cause false negative clia trep antibody test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both false positive and false negative tests have been reported. Are you experiencing any suspicious symptoms or tertiary syphilis? I doubt you have it, but for peace of mind, consult a specialist in STDs or in infectious diseases for evaluation and advice.
