Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
TPHA negativity suggests that you dont have syphillis.
RPR can be positive for a longer time.
It is non specific test and denotes old infection.
Get yourself tested again after two weeks.
A change in titre is more important than a single positive value.
Thank you
I find this answer helpful
