2022-09-12 13:24:37
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.
