I just wanted to send a note of thanks for the wonderful service you provide. I called last week for an anonymous HIV test. The counselor who helped me was very professional and helpful. Everything was presented in a clear but caring manner. I am happy to say the test was negative, but your service made the decision and process of testing more comfortable. Thanks again for your help.

Syphilis testing
Known As: Rapid Plasma Reagin, Nontreponemal test, RPR, Syphilis serology
Description: The RPR test is one of the most common screening tests for syphilis. Through a blood sample, the Syphilis RPR test looks for the antibodies produced in response to being infected with the Syphilis bacterium. A positive result should be confirmed with the Syphilis FTA-ABS test. Average incubation period for syphilis ranges from 10-90 days, while most people show detectable antibody levels by 6 weeks. Turnaround time is typically 1 business day.
Early detection is important so that treatment may begin as soon as possible and assist with delaying the onset of serious complications. In addition, knowing your status will enable you to take the necessary steps in preventing the transmission of Syphilis to others.
Requirements: This is a blood test. No special requirements for testing.
