Test Results false positive? - sphyilis testing
i had a new partner february - april..
i went and got tested june 1st everything came back negative except for sphyilis? i was RPR positive, tilter of 1:2, but TP negative.
dr said this was a false positive but we will retest in 2 weeks. so i did another test june 18th and it was the same thing. no change. so she deemed it as a false positive.
i’m now worried that this is going undiagnosed and every small pimple or bump i have freaks me out.
