Syphilis - RPR (Blood test)

Duration: 15 mins

Results: 24-48 Hours

This test screens for Syphilis, a bacterial STI caused by Treponema pallidum. The Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test detects antibodies produced by the body in response to syphilis infection. If the RPR test is positive, a reflex confirmatory test (usually FTA-ABS or TP-PA) is done to specifically identify Treponema pallidum, the bacteria that causes syphilis.
