What does syphilis false positive mean?

First of all, the problem of false positive rate of syphilis detection does exist, especially in the titer detection of syphilis. Second, syphilis detection items are relatively many, generally divided into two categories, one is syphilis specific antibody detection, such as syphilis tppa detection, or syphilis tpha or syphilis tpab these specific antibody detection, the result is false positive probability is relatively low, relatively accurate. Third, syphilis non-specific antibody detection, that is, syphilis titer detection, there is a certain false positive rate, so to judge whether syphilis infection, simply see syphilis titer detection is not able to diagnose, must see syphilis specific antibody detection.
