Syphilis VDRL and TPHA
I have done STD panel test twice in Nov 2019 and Mar 2020 and below are my results for syphilis.
VDRL
Nov 2019 : reactive with 1:4 titre
Mar 2020 : reactive with 1:2 titre
TPHA:
Nov 2019 : positive
Mar 2020 : positive
What does this mean?
I had taken sufficient Azithromycin in Dec 2019 and Jan 2020 for my sore throat problem.
I have not taken penicillin shot.
I do not have any body sores or cold problems since a long time.
In my test results, it was mentioned as only titre above 1:8 are significant, so what does my titre mean ?
I read somewhere TPHA will check for antibodies, so will TPHA be positive for life time ?
I have not seen any doctor for these test results.
