Test for Syphilis at Home
The GetTested Syphilis Test allows you to check for syphilis quickly, privately, and without the need to visit a clinic. This CE-marked rapid test is designed for home use and detects antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the bacterium responsible for syphilis. It’s a simple finger-prick blood test that delivers results in minutes.
Why Testing for Syphilis Matters
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious long-term health problems if left untreated. In many cases, symptoms are mild or go unnoticed, especially in the early stages. Common signs may include painless sores, rashes, swollen lymph nodes, fever, fatigue, or patchy hair loss. Because symptoms can be absent or easily mistaken for other conditions, testing is the only way to know for sure.
How the Test Works
- Use the sterile lancet to collect a small drop of blood from your fingertip.
- Add the sample and the provided solution to the test device.
- Wait 10 minutes for your results to appear.
Two lines mean syphilis antibodies have been detected (positive result). One line in the control area means no antibodies were found (negative result). If there is no control line, the test is invalid and should be repeated with a new device.
Private and Discreet
Your test kit will be delivered in unmarked, discreet packaging. By testing at home, you can check your syphilis status in your own time, without appointments or waiting rooms.
