Rapid Plasma Reagin 100Test Per Box. Fortress Diagnostics

A rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test is a blood test used to screen you for syphilis. It works by detecting the nonspecific antibodies that your body produces while fighting the infection.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. It can be fatal if left untreated.

Combined with specific antibody testing, the RPR test allows your doctor to confirm the diagnosis of active infection and start your treatment. This reduces the chances of complications and the spread of the disease by an infected but unaware person.
