Patient's question:
What does a positive syphilis antibody test during pregnancy indicate?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if you are pregnant and the syphilis test is positive, it means there are viruses in your body. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to get pregnant, as syphilis is a contagious disease that spreads horizontally. The child will also definitely have syphilis if born. It is advised to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. If the child is very young, an abortion can be considered to prevent transmission to the child. This can be a very troublesome issue in the future.
