About Syphilis Antibody Testing

Syphilis is caused by the spirochaete bacterium Treponema pallidum and is transmitted through direct contact with a syphilitic sore (chancre). Syphilis rates in the UK have been rising, with over 8,000 cases diagnosed annually.

The IgG/IgM test is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) that detects treponemal antibodies. IgM antibodies appear early in infection, while IgG persists long-term. A positive result requires further testing (such as RPR/VDRL) to determine disease activity and stage.

Who Should Be Tested for Syphilis?

New or multiple sexual partners

Risk increases with each unprotected sexual contact.

Men who have sex with men (MSM)

Syphilis rates are disproportionately higher in this population.

Pregnancy

Antenatal screening for syphilis is routine in the UK as congenital syphilis can be prevented.

Contact tracing
