Generally speaking..: Generally speaking there are more problems with the RPR being falsely positive than being falsely negative. Even though it would be uncommon to have a false negative result you should discuss with your doctor other risk factors to determine if follow up testing is necessary.

I had an unsafe exposure 2 years ago. Have heard that sometimes RPR (syphilis) can show negative 6 months after exposure but TPHA can show positive. So, how to avoid false negative and how reliable is RPR 6 months after exposure. Need for retesting ?
