Tested positive for Syphillis....
BirminghamBB replied to Cubbtm4poz's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
Should be fine @Cubbtm4poz. Syph is pretty much the oldest known STD to mankind, and also the most treatable with that one Doxycycline jab. The big needle they use is about the worst part of the whole process, but otherwise it's very much a "one jab and you're done and fine" thing. I see some others here have mentioned about the titre thing too. Can confirm from my last doctor who told me for most individuals who've caught syphilis before they will almost always show a false positive, but as long as you tell the doctor that you've had it in the past and you've been treated and recovered from it, they will know how to interpret your results accordingly.
