Question

I'm really worried about my syphilis tests. About two months ago, my TPHA level was 1320 and RPR was 12. My doctor put me on doxycycline, 100 mg twice a day for 21 days. After finishing the treatment, I tested again and my TPHA had increased to 1640, with the RPR still at 12. They then gave me a penicillin injection, 2.4 mu, and told me to get tested after another two weeks. This time, my results were TPHA 1640 again, but RPR went up to 14. I even did a test at a different lab and the TPHA was 12560 there. I'm scared and not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand these results?

Question

I'm really stressed and can't focus on anything because I'm worried. Is the p24 duo HIV test accurate if I'm testing at 21 days? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Question

I've been exposed to HIV around 48 days ago and now I'm starting to notice some symptoms. I'm really concerned and am wondering what kind of test I can take at this point to confirm if it's HIV. Can you help guide me on this?
