A weak positive syphilis trust may be caused by a short period of infection with the syphilis spirochete, a previous syphilis infection that has now been cured, or an error in the testing process. Weakly positive syphilis trust means that syphilis-specific antibodies have been detected in the patient’s blood, but the current concentration of syphilis-specific antibodies is low, which may be due to a shorter period of time of infection with the syphilis spirochete, for example, it is currently in the window period, so the result is weakly positive. After a period of review, the body antibody concentration rises, the result will usually be transformed into positive, strong positive. Secondly, a weak positive syphilis trust may also mean that the patient was once infected with syphilis, but the condition has now been cured. After a period of retesting, the concentration of antibodies in the patient’s body will decrease and the result may turn negative. In addition, a weakly positive syphilis trust can not be ruled out due to errors in the test process, such as technical problems with the test, contaminated specimens and so on. It is recommended that patients with a weak positive syphilis test be retested at regular intervals to determine the cause of the disease.
