Patient's question:
I would like to ask the experts:Hello!
I would like to know if, after receiving standard treatment, an RPR test result is negative but a TP-PA test result is positive, does this still not count as cured? Is it true that people who have had syphilis always have a positive TP-PA test result? Does a positive TP-PA test affect fertility? Please give me the most honest answers, thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The detection of syphilis antibodies includes methods such as RPR, TRUST, and TPPA. Among these, RPR and TRUST are screening tests, and a positive result in only these two does not diagnose syphilis. TPPA is a syphilis-specific antibody; it must be positive to diagnose the condition. If both RPR and TPPA or TRUST and TPPA are positive, treatment is required. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's body but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
