No GP referral is required. All samples are processed at UKAS-accredited laboratories. Results are communicated confidentially.
Understanding RPR Testing
RPR is a non-treponemal test that detects antibodies produced in response to tissue damage caused by Treponema pallidum. Unlike treponemal tests (EIA, TPHA), RPR titres correlate with disease activity and decline following successful treatment.
RPR is typically used alongside treponemal tests. A positive treponemal screening test followed by a quantitative RPR helps determine whether syphilis is active, recently treated, or historic. Serial RPR monitoring after treatment confirms adequate treatment response.
Clinical Uses of RPR
Disease activity assessment
High RPR titres suggest active, untreated syphilis.
Treatment monitoring
A four-fold decline in titre indicates successful treatment.
Reinfection detection
A four-fold rise in titre may indicate reinfection.
Staging support
RPR results help differentiate between stages of syphilis.
