My report shows that syphilis is reactive with a 1:4 titre. Is it necessary to take a penicillin injection for treatment? If so, where should I receive the injection?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your syphilis test is reactive, yes, penicillin is the standard and most effective treatment. It is given via intramuscular injection, usually in a hospital or clinic. Early treatment is essential to avoid complications. Get done VDRL test for better evaluation.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a VDRL Test (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) Test or Take a TPHA Test (Treponema Pallidium Hemagglutination Assay) Test

View allHi. My VDRL is positive and TPHA is 1.0 negative. In October, my report showed this. The doctor gave 4 injections of 1.2 lakh each over 2 weeks. Before 2008, my VDRL was active and TPHA was not active. The doctor gave 2 injections of 2.4 lakh. From 2008 to August 2017, I did not have any ulcers. In 2017, one night I slept and in the morning I noticed a black spot on the shaft of my penis. The next day an ulcer appeared on the skin and after 4 days it went away, but the skin color did not return to normal. Recently, I have much itching and burning. Please help. I am currently in KSA.

I recently underwent a VDRL test, and the result came back as reactive with a titer of 1:8. I understand this may indicate syphilis. I will be consulting my doctor as well, but I would like to know what the usual course of treatment is for this condition. I have attached my report for your reference. Please guide me.
