In cases of syphilis infection, various tests are used to diagnose the condition and monitor its progression. The two common tests are the venereal disease research laboratory (vdrl) test and the treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (tpha) test.
The vdrl test measures the presence of antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to a syphilis infection. However, it is known to have some limitations, including a higher rate of false-negative results during the early stages of syp...more

The time it takes for the tpha to turn negative after treatment with penicillin can vary depending on several factors, such as the stage of the infection, the severity of the disease, and the individual's immune response. In general, after treatment with penicillin, the tpha test can become negative as early as one week after treatment in early syphilis cases. However, in more advanced stages of syphilis, it may take several months or more.

Azithromycin has been used to treat primary and secondary syphilis and as prophylaxis for sexual partners.
A single injection of long-acting benzathine penicillin g can cure the early stages of syphilis. This includes primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis. Cdc recommends three doses of long-acting benzathine penicillin g at weekly intervals for late latent syphilis or latent syphilis of unknown duration.

If you have tested negative for both vdrl (venereal disease research laboratory) and tpha (treponema pallidum hemagglutination) tests for syphilis, it is generally considered that you do not have an active syphilis infection at the time of testing. These tests are commonly used to screen for syphilis antibodies in the blood.
However, it's important to note that no test is 100% accurate, and there is a possibility of false-negative results, especially in the early stages of infection. In some...more

Young women are usually found to be more at risk of rape than older women. According to data from justice systems and rape crisis centres in chile, malaysia, mexico, papua new guinea, peru and the united states, between one-third and two-thirds of all victims of sexual assault are aged 15 years or less.
Age is a significant factor in sexual abuse. While there is risk for children of all ages, children are most vulnerable to abuse between the ages of 7 and 13

The symptoms you described, such as mouth ulcers, vision and hearing impairment, headache, lack of concentration, and anal itching, can be associated with syphilis. However, it is essential to consult a doctor near you for an accurate diagnosis, as these symptoms can also indicate other medical conditions.
