RPR
Screening for syphilis using rapid plasma reagin detects non-treponemal antibodies. It is useful for monitoring treatment response. Results require confirmation.
An RPR test, standing for Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR), is one of the several tests used for screening syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can be deadly if not treated in time. An RPR test works by detecting antibodies the body releases to fight syphilis. As the antibodies take time to develop, the timing of the test matters. The best time to take the test is after 7-12 weeks after the supposed exposure. Your doctor may recommend this test if you already have another type of STD, you had sexual contact with someone you believe has syphilis, or are pregnant. It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of your home. A trained phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample.
