syphilis RPR test accuracy

Hi folks, I had unprotected sex about 6 years back and
I am thinking of going for a syphilis test (I know its really
silly of me to wait all these years), I did some reading on
the RPR blood test and was concerned whether it will be
accurate enough to detect anti-bodies 6 years down the
line, some articles are saying this test is accurate only
in the middle stages of syphilis, can someone please
advise on whether RPR will be accurate in my case?
if not is there any other blood test I can go for?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Odds are that you wouldn't have been asymptomatic after the sex act. If you've not been tested for std's lately, go and get the whole shebang done , including herpes testing, so you know your full status for everything.

Why worry about syphilis of all std's?
