What if Syphilis IgG/IgM Results Are High?
This result was positive (reactive) on a syphilis screening test.
A reactive screening test is not a formal diagnosis. Screening positives are confirmed with additional testing using a venous blood sample (a full-size blood sample taken with a needle). Confirmation testing is commonly prioritised for early review to clarify the result.
Syphilis does not usually clear by itself and can lead to serious health concerns if left untreated. Treatment is commonly with penicillin injections, or antibiotic tablets taken for a few weeks.
While it is still possible for confirmatory testing to be negative, risk of transmission is linked to unprotected sex and sharing bodily fluids (blood, semen, vaginal/anal secretions). Close contact such as cuddling and hugging is described as safe. It is common for uncertainty to feel distressing, and support and information are available from the National Sexual Health Helpline (0300 123 7123), open 9am–8pm, Monday–Friday; calls are treated with sensitivity and in strict confidence.
