Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
False positive results with TPHA is very unlikely . So it means you are having Syphilis, it's a STD. But treatment is simple.
So ask your doctor to start treatment for syphilis and repeat the test after 1 month though the chances of test result coming back to normal is less likely but you can produce a certificate of treatment of syphilis . That will suffice.
Any clarification feel free to ask Regards.
