TPHA positive means past or current syphilis. You need benzathine penicillin G injection UNDER EXPERT CONSULTATION (2.4 million units IM, single dose). Confirm stage of infection before dosing. Delay travel until treatment is documented and the response is confirmed.

Take a VDRL Test (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) Test or Take a RPR TEST FOR SYPHILIS Test

I have never had sexual activity. Recently, during treatment for an anal fissure, I got a blood test. The results were: VDRL: Reactive TPHA: 10 (Negative) TPAB: 0.18 (Negative) I have no symptoms apart from the anal fissure, which is now cured. I am worried about these results. Could you please suggest what my next steps should be?

I have a blood infection, syphilis, gonorrhea, bacterial infection, and fungal infection. I have the blood report and the prescription but it does not seem to be working. What should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor, I recently had a TPHA test, and the results show a reactive obtained value but non reactive units. I am confused and would like to know whether this means the test is positive or negative, and what the final interpretation of the report would be.
