Syphilis tests usually include syphilis spirochete antibody, syphilis confirmatory test and syphilis titer test, which generally cost from $150-200 at an average tertiary care hospital. The cost varies because the price of which hospital does the reagents varies with the actual materials needed. But patients who have had high-risk sex or are suspected of having syphilis in the clinic need to be tested three times to confirm the diagnosis, so the total cost is generally around 1,000 yuan. While testing for syphilis, the clinician will recommend that the patient be tested and screened for HIV and hepatitis C at the same time, as these two are also sexually transmitted diseases, and the cost of testing for the patient is around 1,000 yuan.
