Would rpr and wr allways be positiv in secondary syp. like if a rash or other symptomes occur. do 12 week test allways rule out infection?

Yes, RPR/VDRL should be positive in active infection. In medicine, we prefer not to say ALWAYS or NEVER, but we use the words LIKELY, LESS LIKELY or NOT LIKELY, UNLIKELY. Take care!
