Components of Syphilis Testing
✔ Confidential Consultation & Risk Assessment – A private discussion about your sexual health history, any potential risk factors or exposures, and a review of any symptoms to determine the need for syphilis testing.
✔ Symptom Review – Inquiry about symptoms that might indicate syphilis, such as painless sores (chancres) on the genitals or mouth, skin rashes (especially on palms and soles), swollen lymph nodes, or flu-like symptoms.
✔ Laboratory Testing – * Blood Tests (Screening and Confirmatory): * Non-treponemal tests (e.g., RPR, VDRL): Used for initial screening; if positive, they are typically followed by a confirmatory test. * Treponemal tests (e.g., TP-PA, EIA, CIA): Used to confirm a positive non-treponemal test or for direct screening, detecting specific antibodies to Treponema pallidum (the bacterium causing syphilis). * Direct Lesion Testing (Darkfield Microscopy or PCR): If active chancres or rashes are present, a sample from the lesion can be examined directly under a microscope (darkfield) or tested via PCR for immediate confirmation.
✔ Rapid & Reliable Results – Our goal is to provide your test results efficiently, allowing for timely treatment, which is critical for preventing disease progression.
✔ Post-Test Counseling (If Positive) – If your test result is positive, we provide immediate and comprehensive counseling on: * Antibiotic Treatment: Penicillin is the highly effective treatment for all stages of syphilis. The dosage and duration depend on the stage of the infection. * Abstinence During Treatment: Guidance on avoiding sexual activity until treatment is complete and sores have healed to prevent transmission. * Partner Notification: Crucial advice on how to inform and encourage your sexual partners to get tested and treated to prevent reinfection and further transmission. * Follow-up Testing: Importance of repeat blood tests at specific intervals to confirm successful treatment.
✔ Prevention Counseling – Comprehensive advice on safer sex practices, including consistent condom use and regular STI testing, to prevent future infections.
