All syphilis tests negative
Hey doctors,
How you doing? Male here 35 age unmarried.
I have done RPR twice and tpha more than 5 times. The first tpha i did was positive and the rest were negative and rpr were both negative.
Is it conclusive? Or shall i have to do more testing?
As i had no symptoms went to dermatologist. He said no further testing is needed as tpha once positive remains positive for life.
So needed the honest second opinion.
