Reactive TPHA indicate that your brother is suffering from syphilis which is sexually transmitted disease. Your brother must have acquired this disease by unprotected sexual intercourse. This is a curable disease. Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections. Advice 1. Injection Benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units (Injection Penidure LA 24) intramuscularly once weekly– only 3 injections Sensitivity test is mandatory before taking injection of penicillin. Tests will become negative after complete treatment. 2. Investigations a. HIV screening b. Australia antigen c. HCV DNA I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question Thanks
