Syphilis Test (CHC)

The Primary.Medical syphilis test kit detects if you have been exposed to the bacteria that causes syphilis. 

Syphilis

Syphilis is a bacterial infection spread either through sexual contact or from a parent to a newborn during birth. This test kit detects syphilis spread through sexual contact in adults.

Our clinical staff will follow up with anyone with a positive or abnormal result on this test, which may include additional testing before a clinician can confirm a syphilis diagnosis. Treatment for syphilis includes antibiotics.

What’s included in the cost of the test?

The test of the test kit includes your test kit and a follow-up telehealth visit with our clinical team if you test positive.

Who should order this test:

Anyone 18 years and older who would like to include syphilis testing as part of their routine STI testing.

Ever been positive and treated for syphilis in the past? This test kit is not recommended for anyone who has been diagnosed and treated with syphilis in the past, as the test kit will determine if you have ever been exposed to the bacteria in your lifetime. It cannot be used to monitor treatment for syphilis.

Did you know that if you’re positive for syphilis, you are at higher risk for HIV?

Consider ordering a HIV test too for additional peace of mind.
