Understanding syphilis testing

Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum. Early signs, such as a small painless sore, are easy to miss, so a blood test is the usual way to check.

This rapid kit detects antibodies to Treponema pallidum in a single drop of fingertip blood. It is a screening step — clinics use additional laboratory tests to confirm a result and work out what it means.

Why a positive result needs a clinic

Antibodies to syphilis can stay in the blood after an infection has been treated. That means an antibody test cannot by itself tell the difference between a current infection and one in the past.

If you have had syphilis before, mention it when you seek advice. A clinic will use further tests to decide whether treatment is needed.
