Your TPPA would only be positive itf you caught disease. Again, no reason for concern. EWH
Your questions are rather difficult for me to follow. Your treatment will prevent you from getting syphilis. I urge you not to worry. EWH
Welcome to our Forum. As I understand it and interpret your test results, your partner has syphilis and you do not have evidence of infection. The incubation time in which it takes syphilis to develop is, on average, 21 days. A single treatment with benzathine penicillin in the dose you received is completely effective in preventing development of syphilis. The CDC's recommendation for persons in your situation is a single injection of penicillin with no need for further treatment or follow-up.
In answer to your questions:
1. No, the preventative treatment is completely effective.
2. Yes, the treatment should prevent your TPPA from becoming positive.
3. Repeat testing will be negative. If you had contracted syphilis, a blood test in 6-12 weeks would be positive.
4. No, because the antibiotic will PREVENT the infection.
I hope this helps, Now that you have been treated, you have nothing to worry about. EWH
Thank you. Take care. EWH

Thanks for your explanation that make me relax a lot. But I' am still confused about something.
First: What dose this sentence mean" If you had contracted syphilis, a blood test in 6-12 weeks would be positive. "
Dose it mean: if you contracted syphilis, no matter how early you star to have a treatment, the blood teat will turn positive finally? Did I contract?
Second: some reports said that some infected people have reduce rpr, even turn rpr negative through a regular treatment following the CDC's recommendation strictly, and doctor also thought the disease has been cured. But after 2 or 3 year, the disease relapse.
What cause this phenomenon happen (Will a tiny amount of bacterium hide in human body no matter how much antibiotic he receive? Or the patient not receive enght antibiotic?), and will this phenomenon fall upon me?
I am so sorry for my chatte. Thank you!
