siphilis test

[bebbyseg8]

Hello,

I keep seeing both the window period for syohilis, 6 weeks and others 3 months, is it because there are 2 different tests? If so, what is the name of the test that detects it in 6 weeks?

Thanks

RPR at 6 weeks is fine

Should I test by  12 weeks to make sure? Any test in particular?  RPR OR TVHC?

[Vance2335]

Correct, antibodies show by week 6.

[bebbyseg8]

So, if I test at 6 weeks negative and get the canker at say 8 , and test by then would it be positive.? Could I test negative at 6 and positive at 8 if the canker shows later?

All are 6 weeks, can take up to 90 days for the canker to show.
