Now there are more and more diseases in the world. Some diseases are not only infectious but also recurrent. Syphilis has these two characteristics.

Can syphilis still infect after cure?

Experts point out that if syphilis is completely cured, it will not be infected, but many people can't tell whether they have been cured or not. Patients should first review the RPR titer, once every three months in the first year, once every half a year in the second year, once every three years in the third year, and once at the end of the year. If the PrP titer is doubled (4 times) lower, it means that the anti syphilis treatment is effective, and there is no need to continue the treatment, only regular review is needed. If RPR turns negative, it needs to be reexamined again the next year, and if it is still negative, it is completely cured.

  if the titer of RPR rises (4 times) during the reexamination, it means that the first anti syphilis treatment fails and the second anti syphilis treatment needs to be continued. And then it's the same as the review after the first anti syphilis. If continuous review, the RPR titer remained at a certain level, such as 1:2 or 1:4, without medication. And without any clinical symptoms, this is called syphilis serum fixation, generally need to increase an anti syphilis treatment, and then regular review can be.

Generally speaking, patients are followed up for two years after treatment. If the RPR titer of each test shows a downward trend, it indicates that anti plum therapy is effective. If the results of three to four consecutive tests are negative, it can be considered that the patient's syphilis has been cured.
