What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're sexually active and want to screen for syphilis, or if you've been exposed to someone with syphilis. It helps detect and confirm syphilis infection, which is important because early-stage syphilis often has mild or no symptoms but can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Many people use this test for routine sexual health screening, after unprotected sex, or when experiencing symptoms like unusual sores, rashes, or swollen lymph nodes.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your results mean for your sexual health and next steps. These notes include guidance on whether treatment is needed, how to prevent transmission, and when follow-up testing might be recommended. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your results over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're monitoring treatment effectiveness or doing routine screening.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) screening, RPR titer levels, and Treponema pallidum antibody confirmatory testing. This panel uses a two-step approach to accurately diagnose syphilis. It starts with an RPR screening test that detects antibodies your body produces in response to syphilis infection. If the RPR is positive, it automatically reflexes to additional confirmatory testing including titer levels (which measure infection severity) and Treponema pallidum antibody testing to verify the diagnosis and rule out false positives. This comprehensive approach provides both accurate diagnosis and information about disease activity.

How should I prepare for this test?

No special preparation is needed for this test. You don't need to fast, and you can take your regular medications. The blood sample can be collected at any time of day. Just arrive at the lab with your test order, and the blood draw typically takes just a few minutes.

When will I get my results?

Most results are available within 1-3 business days after your blood sample is collected at the lab. If your initial screening is positive and reflex testing is needed, it may take an additional 1-2 days for the confirmatory tests. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view securely online.

Who should consider getting this test?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider regular syphilis screening as part of routine sexual health care. This test is especially important if you've had unprotected sex, multiple partners, a new partner, or if a partner has tested positive for syphilis. It's also recommended for pregnant women, people with other STIs, and those experiencing symptoms like painless sores, unusual rashes, or flu-like symptoms.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Early syphilis often causes painless sores (chancres) on the genitals, mouth, or rectum that appear 10-90 days after infection. Later symptoms may include skin rashes (especially on palms and soles), swollen lymph nodes, fever, fatigue, sore throat, or hair loss. However, many people have no noticeable symptoms at all, which is why routine screening is important if you're sexually active.

What does a positive RPR result mean?

A positive RPR indicates that antibodies associated with syphilis infection are present in your blood, suggesting you may have an active syphilis infection. This triggers automatic confirmatory testing with titer measurements and Treponema pallidum antibody tests to verify the diagnosis and assess infection severity. A positive confirmed result means you'll need antibiotic treatment, which is highly effective at curing syphilis, especially when caught early.

How is syphilis treated if my test is positive?

Syphilis is treated with antibiotics, most commonly penicillin injections. Early-stage syphilis typically requires a single dose, while later-stage infections may need multiple treatments. Treatment is highly effective and can cure the infection, though it cannot reverse damage already done to organs. Your doctor will provide specific treatment recommendations based on your test results and infection stage.

How can I protect myself from syphilis?

The most effective protection is using latex condoms correctly during every sexual encounter, though they don't provide complete protection since syphilis can spread through contact with sores outside the covered area. Limiting your number of sexual partners, being mutually monogamous with an uninfected partner, and getting regular STI screenings reduce your risk. Open communication with partners about sexual health and testing is also crucial for prevention.

How often should I get tested for syphilis?

If you're sexually active with multiple partners or new partners, annual syphilis screening is recommended, or every 3-6 months if you're at higher risk. After treatment for syphilis, follow-up testing is typically done at 6 and 12 months to ensure the infection has been cured. If you have potential exposure to syphilis, test immediately and again at 6 weeks and 3 months, as it can take time for antibodies to develop.
