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.
