A member asked:

What does it mean to have a syphillis test qualitive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy screen: This is a cheap, easy, and reliable screening test for syphilis. Should it turn up positive, your physician may want to get something quantitative, with real numbers, to make sure of the diagnosis and perhaps monitor your response to treatment.
