Here's how to interpret the syphilis test results!

The interpretation of syphilis test results can be divided into two types of tests.

1. Vitreous body test (RPR, VDRL)

2.  

3. This test is an indirect screening for syphilis infection.

4. The higher the number, the more likely it is to be an infection.

5. If the result is negative (-), it means there is no current syphilis infection.

6. If the result is positive (+), there is a possibility of infection, so additional tests are necessary.

1. Treponemal tests (FTA-ABS, TPPA)

2.  

3. This test directly detects antibodies to the syphilis bacteria.

4. If it is positive (+), there is a possibility of current or past syphilis infection.

5. If the result is negative (-), it can be interpreted as not infected.

If both tests come back positive, syphilis infection can be confirmed, and appropriate treatment is necessary.
