Tags: tests, false negative

Does syphilis tests ever come back false negative? How long can a blood sample sit around and still be testable?

Yes, syphilis tests can be a false negative if its too early to test. It can take up to a month to test positive.

Depending on the conditions, your blood can sit around for about 24 hours and still be testable for syphilis.
