What do the test results mean?

In a healthy person, the test is negative. This means that no antibodies to the organism that causes syphilis are found. If the test is positive, then antibodies were found. That means that the person has neurosyphilis. Neurosyphilis is a serious, late stage of syphilis that affects the central nervous system.
