IF TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS AND ANY OTHER MEDICINES THAN THE BLOOD TESTS SHOULD COME BACK NEGATIVE. NEXT THING TO DO IS USE PROTECTION AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT Partner FOR SEX. YOU MAY NOT GET SYPHILIS BUT OTHER STD'S ARE OUT THERE SO BE CAREFUL

There are two types of blood tests for syphilis: RPR and Treponemal antibody. RPR/VDRL type of tests do return to normal or lower titer following successful treatment. Treponema antibody results may remain positive for the rest of the life of the person. for info: https://www.cdc.gov/std/syphilis/stdfact-syphilis-detailed.htm#:~:text=There%20are%20two%20types%20of,are%20often%20used%20for%20screen
