Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

TPHA is Treponema palidum hemagglutinatuon assay. It is positive in syphilis.

Treatment for this condition is injectable penicillin. If you receiving the treatment for 5 months and your titre in not going down is suggestive of resistant infection in you.

I advice you should change the drug to the Doxycycline 100 mg two times a day until you are clear with this bug.

Please avoid sexual inter course until you are all clear with the infection.

If your partner is having the same infection than you can both take the treatment simultaneously and both should be treated completely to cure the infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
