Syphilis Test - RPR Test

We use a small blood sample to test for syphilis.

This syphilis test requires no preparation or fasting.

It is advised to wait at least 3-6 weeks after exposure before taking a syphilis test. After being treated for syphilis, you should be tested again in three months to ensure that the infection has been cleared.

Positive (reactive) or negative outcomes are possible (non-reactive). A negative result indicates that no traces of syphilis were found in your system. A positive result could mean you have syphilis. However, a positive diagnosis cannot be made until a TPA confirmation test that distinguishes syphilis from other conditions is performed.

Yes, syphilis can be cured and treated with antibiotics. If you test positive for syphilis, our clinicians are available by phone to discuss your results at no additional cost.

You are at risk of contracting syphilis if you engage in sexual activity. Not only is it simple to transmit, but it can also remain dormant for many years without causing symptoms. Getting tested is the best way to determine your status. Syphilis testing should be a routine part of your STD screening, especially if you had unprotected sex and are unsure of your partner’s status.

Now is the best time to get a syphilis test. Discover your sexual health status right now.

If you recently met someone whose STD status you do not know, it is critical that you get tested. Our doctors advise testing for syphilis at least 3-6 weeks after exposure, and then again three months later to confirm that the infection has been cleared.

Also, if you have not been tested for other STDs in the last year, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV-1, HIV-2, hepatitis A, B, C, and herpes-1 or herpes-2, our clinicians recommend taking the all-inclusive 10 Test Panel testing. 

A chlamydia-gonorrhea test panel is also available. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are co-existing infections, which means that having one infection increases your chances of getting the other.

You are eligible for a phone consultation with one of our doctors if you test positive for Syphilis. You can schedule this phone consultation at your leisure. Our doctor will explain your results, ask you questions, and, at their discretion, prescribe treatment or request additional testing.
