Hi there, is a negative syphilis blood test (finger prick sent off to a lab for testing) conclusive at 9 weeks after exposure? wondering whether to re test or to move on from it, do many peoples results change after this period? thanks?

For a completely conclusive result, testing after 12 weeks is recommended. You can validate this by calling your local department of public health.
