Dr. Victor Nwanguma answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

More info needed: You will need to follow up with the doctor who treated your syphilis to check what your number (RPR) is. Usually RPR will be elevated before treatment, but declines with appropriate treatment. Good luck and stay healthy.
