A member asked:
Is it possible to have symptoms after 4.5 weeks and test negative with rpr several times within 12 weeks. the latest rpr test after 12 weeks and after 4 months test positive with eia rapid test? thanks

No, this is not possible. If symptoms are caused by syphilis, the standard blood tests, including RPR, always are positive. Your continuing questions despite several reasoned replies indicate you're having trouble understanding or believing that you do not have syphilis. Maybe consider counseling to figure out why. In any case, please stop asking on HealthTap.
