Its better to let the doc know about your condition rather than giving explanation later.
If you have already treated the syphilis and it isn’t chronic syphilis then it is cured and there is no need to mention it. It is like any infection once it is cleared up you no longer have it so no need to bring it up during the medical.
Dude I understand but RPR or vdrl is negative okay but tpha will stay lifelong positive my doubt is will they check for tpha if my vdrl or RPR is negative during medical exams and thanks in advance for your reply please let me know if they will check for tpha as well
Hello. Same for me. I did my first blood analysis early february for my medical visit.
they found a TPHA + and VDRL -
So i made another test 1 month after (early march) and same results (with IGM to check if recent or not). I ve been to a specialist who wrote a letter to explain it s a very old syphillis apparently who doesn't need a treatment.
But despite this, IRCC asked me on March 29th to do another blood test on May 2nd (same and IGM again).
So I will do it next week. Hope it would be ok for them after. Maybe it s a 3 months check.
what u think ?

Hey dude what tests were taken when you went for the medicals ?
I have a few questions regarding it
1) Was your vdrl negative before going to the medical test ?
2) Did they find your VDRL or RPR as positive and then they asked you to take additional TPHA ?
3) Did they take RPR and TPHA tests for the first time when you went for the test ?
Please let me know asap bcos I am worried if they would take both of the tests for syphilis
If they take VDRL or RPR then I might be good because my RPR will become negative before the test I guess.
Were you asked to take a TPHA bcos of your RPR positivity ???
Thanks in Advance waiting for your response
