Will my test results be negative if I had syphilis in the past?

After you have had syphilis, future blood tests will show that you have antibodies, which is your body’s memory of the infection.

Your blood tests will show if you have a new infection or not. This is because each blood sample will have 3 tests performed on it to help get a full picture.
