What really is the Syphilis blood test home kit?
In simple terms Syphilis is referred to as a systematic infectious disease that is determined by T. pallidum.
How is it transmitted?
A Person having unprotected sex like oral, vaginal or anal with a person who already has been infected with Syphilis will be more sensitive simply meaning will be at a higher risk of getting the infection.
Like, in women who are pregnant, this disease can be transmitted from mother to the foetus directly because the pregnant mother is already carrying the infection.
What are its symptoms?
The symptoms are same for both men and women however, the symptoms may as well vary depending on what stage the infection currently is at. However, you can also have the infection and still not show any symptoms.
If left non-treated it develops in stages:
- Primary Stage
- Secondary Stage
- Latent Stage
- Tertiary Stage
The primary stage show a painless ulcer on the part which has been in contact with the bacteria. This can come after 2-3 weeks and can last for up to 5-6 weeks. Depending on the infection where it is, it can disappear unobserved.
The secondary stage will most commonly come up with some of the symptoms like skin rash (usually on hands and feet), inflammation of the genital, swollen glands, and visible white spots on the mouth. What is significant to note is that in such a condition even if no treatment is given, the symptoms will usually disappear, but the infection will progress to the next stage.
The latent stage – when the secondary stage of Syphilis disappears, the symptoms can not show up for a few years even if the infection is there.
The tertiary stage – comes after a couple of years since affected person’s infection having sincere effects of cardiological, neurological or osteo conditions.
In what way does the diagnosis took place?
The process of diagnosis is conducting a Syphilis blood test.
The Prevention:
The only way you can use to reduce the risk of getting infected is by using protection (condom). It is also important to note that if you are currently undergoing treatment, it is recommended that you have sexual contact only after you finish the treatment and once the symptoms are no more present.

Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
The Limit of Detection:
≤ 1.00 S/CO.
Precision factor:
The coefficient of variation (CV) for within-assay measurements is 10% or lower, while the CV for between-assay measurements is 15% or lower.
Measuring Range:
1.0~50.0 S/CO
Validators active info:
- EQA: NA
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Scheduled to occur regularly based on the validation timetable.
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy:
The accuracy of the sample’s testing is dependent upon the variations in the coefficient also between the assay. The variation in the testing of if there then the Syphilis sample is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is actually the variance of the result value only if the same sample is being under processing from the start again.
Positive results:
The sample which is over or = 1s/co signify a positive result of the infection.
Negative results:
The sample that is under 1 s/co are taken as negative for the syphilis.
