Syphilis IgG/IgM

What Does This Test Check?

The Syphilis IgG/IgM test checks for antibodies that the immune system makes in response to a syphilis infection. Separating IgG from IgM helps indicate whether an infection is recent or from the past.

Medichecks provides this Syphilis IgG/IgM blood test for 59 pounds as a home test. At this price it is a focused single-infection screen rather than a combined STI panel.

A positive result may indicate past or current exposure to syphilis, and the IgG/IgM pattern helps suggest which, but it is not a diagnosis on its own. Syphilis is curable with antibiotics, so a reactive result is a reason to see a sexual health clinic promptly for confirmatory testing and treatment.
