Introduction
If non-treponemal syphilis serological tests are positive, and there has been recent high-risk behavior or related symptoms, it may indicate an active infection. At this stage, active Treponema pallidum may be present in the body, so further evaluation is needed to determine the stage of infection, followed by standardized treatment to prevent disease progression and adverse health effects. Regular follow-up testing for antibody changes is also required after treatment.
In general, a positive result for Treponema pallidum antibody with a value of 2.324 suggests possible past or current infection, which should be further evaluated in combination with other test results. If concerned, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly. Detailed analysis is as follows:
If accompanied by a positive non-treponemal syphilis serological test and recent high-risk behaviors or related symptoms, it may indicate an active infection. In this case, active Treponema pallidum may be present in the body. Further tests are needed to determine the stage of infection, followed by standardized treatment to prevent disease progression and health complications. Regular follow-up testing of antibody levels is also required after treatment.
If the non-treponemal syphilis serological test is negative and there are no obvious symptoms, it may indicate a past infection. This usually means the individual was previously infected with syphilis but the condition has been controlled following treatment. Antibodies may persist in the body long-term, so no specific treatment is necessary. However, regular follow-up monitoring is advised to detect any abnormal fluctuations in test results and rule out reinfection.
After receiving antibody test results, timely integration with other examinations is essential for accurate diagnosis. Maintain good personal hygiene and avoid high-risk behaviors in daily life. If treatment is required, strictly adhere to medical instructions throughout the full course of therapy—do not discontinue medication or adjust the treatment plan without guidance.
