Hello- treponemal tests, also called confirmatory tests (fta, tp-pa, eia), detect antibodies specific to syphilis. Treponemal antibodies will appear earlier after acute infection than non-treponemal antibodies. The antibodies detected in these tests usually remain detectable for life even after successful treatment.
