SYPHILIS TESTS detects antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the bacteria that cause syphilis. Any positive result from the rapid test must be confirmed with a second syphilis blood test performed in a laboratory certified by CLIA to perform more complex testing. Syphilis testing is simple. Each test comes with: 1 x rapid test, 1 x Alcohol swab, 1 x Lancet and 1 x buffer solution Syphilis may be hard to detect without a test because it develops in stages that can last for several weeks, months, or even years. This bacterial infection is spread through intercourse (vaginal, oral, or anal sex) with an infected person. Rapid plasma regain looks for the antibodies that fight the syphilis bacteria (a protein made by the immune system to fight foreign bacteria). Who should regularly test for Syphilis if:
– You are sexually active
– You have more than one sexual partner
– You suspect you have been in sexual contact with an infected individual.
– You are pregnant because this infection can be passed to your unborn child.
