Is syphilis cured or positive?

Syphilis is cured, the test results may still be positive.

Even if syphilis has been cured, the test will usually show positive. This is because once infected with syphilis, the body will produce specific antibodies, which will generally exist for life. Therefore, it is mainly used to confirm syphilis infection, but it cannot be used to determine whether syphilis is active or cured. In addition, after syphilis is cured, after standardized treatment and sufficient time, the titer of non-specific antibodies can gradually decline and become negative. However, in some special cases, such as reinfection, co-infection with other immune diseases, etc., titer fluctuations may occur.
