I was diagnosed with syphilis 09.2016(RPR 4+, VDRL-). I made new tests and my VDRL is possitive and my blood tests are 3+ again (RPR, VDRL). Is it normal? Did I cure my syphilis?

A 33-year-old male asked:

Is very very late syphilis hard to test for? I know RPR/VDRL can be negative, but will trep tests (CIA/EIA/TPPA/FTA) still be positive? Can anything affect them and turn them negative? Can sensitivity be low due to waning/fewer antibodies?

A 30-year-old male asked:

If I want to do a syphilis test 3/4 months from exposure, is VDRL or RPR better, may I be informed of the accuracy of the VDRL, TPHA, RPR tests, whether at 3/4 months the accuracy can reach 100% to rule out syphilis?
