The SELFCHECK Syphilis Test is easy to use, requiring a small finger prick blood sample to perform the test and a visual result is available in less than 10 minutes. The test detects anti-Treponema pallidum antibodies as an indicator of syphilis infection Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria called Treponema pallidum. The detection of anti-Treponema pallidum antibodies in the blood is an indicator of infection. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risks associated with a syphilis infection. Comparison of the SELFCHECK Syphilis Test with reference laboratory methods shows an overall agreement of at least 97% (95% Confidence Interval 96.1-98.3%). Although this test is reliable, doctors are aware that all medical tests whether used in the laboratory or at home may give a small number of false positive or false negative results. Overall agreement with laboratory method: 97% Cut-off: 0.1 IU/mL Calibration: WHO reference Certification: CE/ IVDD Biomarker: anti-Treponema pallidum antibodies Contains 1 test. Better to know We want you to be aware that no biomarker, even when checked by your hospital lab, is 100% perfect at diagnosing a specific medical condition. Because of this, a false positive result may cause unnecessary worry and further investigations, whilst a false negative result may give you peace of mind, when actually there may be an underlying condition that requires treatment. Rather than purchasing a self-test kit, you may wish to speak with your NHS GP first, who can arrange for tests if needed. Make sure that you have considered what a result will mean to you before deciding to test. At SELFCHECK, you can also speak with our health check experts if you need help to use your test or interpret your results.
