About the Syphilis IgG/IgM (Venous)
The Syphilis IgG/IgM (Venous) is a confidential sexual health test available at Medical and Dental in Central London. A blood sample is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 1 day" and are delivered confidentially via secure email.
Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The infection progresses through stages — primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary — each with different characteristics. Primary syphilis typically presents as a painless sore (chancre), while secondary syphilis may involve skin rashes and mucous membrane lesions. According to UKHSA surveillance data, syphilis diagnoses in England have increased in recent years. Blood tests for syphilis detect antibodies produced in response to the infection, including treponemal-specific antibodies (e.g., TPHA, EIA) and non-treponemal antibodies (e.g., RPR). Testing can detect the infection even during the latent stage when no symptoms are present.
