Negative results for HIV and syphilis. I cannot tell whether HIV-2 was included. LabCorp is a national laboratory generally considered excellent, with high quality control standards.
For further information, you'll have to speak with the provider who ordered the tests.

Only RPR. TPPA is done only to confirm positive RPR results; a negative RPR rules out syphilis.
