My question is regarding the Syphillis
disease. I have been married for almost
two years. My wife had a blood test a few
months ago, and was diagnosed with a low
percent of Syphillis. The Doctor said that
it was so low, maybe because she have had
a penicillin treatment a while ago, and
also mentioned that I probably won't have
nothing to worry about. This is completely
new for me. What should I do? Thank
you.

You and your wife can both request several
tests (TPHA, VDRL and IgG-FTA-Abs-test) to
confirm or exclude the presence of
Syphilis.
