 The negative TPHA would be unusual with an RPR titer of 1:16. Given that a repeat RPR is still positive, it most likely means syphilis infection is real and not a false positive test. This would need to be treated with intramuscular penicillin, which your doctor who is obtaining these tests can prescribe. | ||||||||
