RPR positive RPR negative!!!!
Jun 10, 2012

Hello!I had a syphilis test in the local hospital on 31/5, as my ex-boyfriend told me that he was positive and he treated it in 30/5 by peniciline. He told me that about 6 months ago he made sex with a prostitute(I don't know if it's true).The last time that me and ex-boyfriend had sex was 1 month ago.My first test(RPR)came positive and i went the next day in a special hospital for the treatment. There, the doctor had me another test(RPR) for certainty and it came NEGATIVE. They told me to wait for a week until we can see the results of some other special exams.WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Response from Dr. Holodniy

You have to wait until the confirmatory tests are back to know what the true results are.
