Your test will come back with one of two indications: reactive or non-reactive. If your test says non-reactive, that means that you do not have syphilis. If your test says reactive, that means that are infected with syphilis and are eligible for a consultation with one of our physicians at no additional charge.
There is no need to abstain from eating or drinking for any period of time before the blood test.
Syphilis can be treated and cured with prescription antibiotics.
If you are a sexually active individual, a syphilis test is recommended. The disease is easily transmittable and it is possible to infected without having any symptoms.
